Right, I thought I modified this. I've already changed
pt_irq_create_bind so that the original behavior is keep if the unmask
bit is not set. In this case this should be 'true' in order to keep
the previous behavior, which was correct for MSI.

It also makes me wonder whether it would be better to change the name
of the parameter to "unmask", so that false -> no change to mask, true
-> unconditionally unmask.

Thanks, Roger.
