It probably would be best to disable the source, however, you can't just re-
enable it as it might already be disabled when you move it. It is also
probably a bug that io_masked can be read w/o holding the icu_lock in
ioapic_program_intpin(). I think the icu_lock should be pushed up to callers
of ioapic_program_intpin(), and that you should explicitly do a simple write
to mask the source a bit earlier. Something like this perhaps:
