I am not sure where the blame should be placed. We need to disable at 
the PIC when using libbsd with shared PCI interrupts because an 
interrupt server is used that is common to a few architectures. Some 
legacy drivers like this one assume processing inside the interrupt 
context. It is not clear to me shared interrupts were ever supported 
with these drivers. I would assume it means some type of per driver 
interrupt chaining.

I am not sure we can mix both models without some changes.

Which hack?

I have not testing the i386 with libbsd with your recent changes. I will 
see what I can do. I did not notice the enables/disables had been changed.

I am sorry it is not clear to me what direction this is.
