Freeing a kernel interrupt reservation does not imply that 
your hardware has stopped delivering them...  in a shared 
interrupt situation, the code sequence

	free_irq()
	perform some action

could cause the kernel to call _another_ driver's interrupt 
handling routine over and over again, until _your_ hardware 
stops raising the interrupt condition.

I guess misunderstood your original comment.  I am not "masking"
interrupts before issuing the reset.  I am shutting them off. The device
will not issue any more interrupts until it is reinitialized and
interrupts turned back on.
