You mean a "true" value right? false is what we are writing there.

Are you sure it can happen? I think that synchronize_irq makes the value
visible on all CPUs running the irq.

If intx_soft_enbled were not visible after synchronize_irq then
it does not matter in which order we read it wrt other values,
it still wouldn't work right.
