Eek.. what a courageous choice. I guess that might work as
long as there is only a single IRQ status bit in the register,
if there are multiple bits this really needs more complex
handling, like you basically need the old behaviour for the
IRQ part of the register, and the new behaviour for the not
IRQ part of the register. So perhaps a new mask to denote which
bit of the register is being used for IRQ stuff?

Thanks,
