Hw interrupts are forcibly enabled before entering any Linux IRQ
handler, exactely to prevent the issue you described (e.g. fiddling with
an IDE controller in PIO mode also gives funky latency results unless
the latter is true), so the answer is yes.

Not from Linux IRQ handlers; you may want to check this using the
tracer. If hw interrupts are masked there, then it's a blatant bug.
