Btw, I don't actually understand why interrupt "simply lost", IMO it
should not.. :-/ But this what I'm observing via bunch of printks in
the code flow. Maybe there is not so obvious race, which I can't see.

So, help needed. Either it is a proper fix, or it is a workaround for
another bug somewhere else.
