I justify my cowardice on the basis that it doesn't *matter* if a
hardware implementation is still toggling the IRQ pin; in that case
it's only a few irrelevant transistors which are busy, and it doesn't
translate to steal time.

On real hardware it translates to power...

Perhaps, although I'd guess it's a negligible amount. Still, happy to
be brave and make it unconditional. Want a new version of the patch?

Let'ss fix the shutdown sequence first (See Michaels latest mail) and
then do the clockevents_i8253_init() change on top.

Thanks,
