Ah, XT-PIC uses handle_level_irq(). /me bangs head against desk.

Does the patch below fix the problem for you ?

Subject: genirq: Clear action->thread_mask if IRQ_ONESHOT is not set

commit ac5637611(genirq: Unmask oneshot irqs when thread was not
woken) fails to unmask when a !IRQ_ONESHOT threaded handler is handled
by handle_level_irq. This happens because thread_mask is or'ed
unconditionally in irq_wake_thread(), but for !IRQ_ONESHOT interrupts
never cleared. So the check for !desc->thread_active fails and keeps
the interrupt disabled.

Keep the thread_mask zero for !IRQ_ONESHOT interrupts.
