Can you verify the status of the interrupt flags at the point that
routine is called in your code and get a backtrace of the path. It
should never be gettng called with interrupts off, and if it is we need
to know what the path is. Otherwise that code change would imply a bug
in the core code for the platform which seems less likely.
