[PATCH] Beaglebone: Fix the IRQ handling code

All,

I tested this on current HEAD and verified it fixes a case I'd ran
into trouble with before, namely gpio-triggered irqs. Great to see. I
pushed your change with a commit message based on your original email,
Martin. I hope you like it.

Thank you!
