Alright, I'll put this in v4.

I agree that that would be preferable. Unfortunately, the hardware lacks 
status register bits that indicates whether interrupts has been 
generated or not. That is why the only check is if interrupts are 
disabled, because that is the only sure way to know that the softirq 
handler does not need to go through everything.
