-	This per interrupt selectable feature, which was introduced by Russell
-	King in the ARM interrupt implementation, does not mask an interrupt
-	at the hardware level when disable_irq() is called. The interrupt is
-	kept enabled and is masked in the flow handler when an interrupt event
-	happens. This prevents losing edge interrupts on hardware which does
-	not store an edge interrupt event while the interrupt is disabled at
-	the hardware level. When an interrupt arrives while the IRQ_DISABLED
-	flag is set, then the interrupt is masked at the hardware level and
-	the IRQ_PENDING bit is set. When the interrupt is re-enabled by
-	enable_irq() the pending bit is checked and if it is set, the
-	interrupt is resent either via hardware or by a software resend
-	mechanism. (It's necessary to enable CONFIG_HARDIRQS_SW_RESEND when
-	you want to use the delayed interrupt disable feature and your
-	hardware is not capable of retriggering	an interrupt.)
-	The delayed interrupt disable can be runtime enabled, per interrupt,
-	by setting the IRQ_DELAYED_DISABLE flag in the irq_desc status field.
+	At least when using default_disable as the ->disable() callback of a
+	chip handler, an interrupt is not masked at the hardware level when
+	disable_irq() is called. The interrupt is kept enabled and is masked
+	in the flow handler when an interrupt event happens. This prevents
+	losing edge interrupts on hardware which does not store an edge
+	interrupt event while the interrupt is disabled at the hardware level.
+	This makes use of the replay mechanism that is mandatory anyway to
+	prevent potential race conditions between an interrupt event and a call
+	to disable_irq() at the same time. When an interrupt arrives in
+	handle_edge_irq() while the IRQ_DISABLED flag is set, then the
+	interrupt is masked at the hardware level and the IRQ_PENDING bit is
+	set. When the interrupt is re-enabled by enable_irq() the pending bit
+	is checked and if it is set, the interrupt is resent either via
+	hardware or by a software resend mechanism.
