While IODC doesn't *use* interrupts (it polls), I guess IODC could
generate interrupts.  Normally I'd expect the IO_RESET_AND_CLEAR to
reset all IOSAPICs and thus disable IO interrupts.

I'm also wondering how this would work on an SMP machine. We would
need to "capture" all the CPUs and set the EIEM in each one.

You probably want to see how HPUX is handling this instead of
"re-inventing" it.

Can you make a patch available that we can review?
I'm happy to host that on gsyprf10 thought ftp.p-l.o/patches
would be the "right" place.

thanks,
grant
