Hello irqchip maintainers,

As mentioned upthread, there is a bug in drivers/irqchip/irq-tango.c
caused by the unexpected implementation of irq_gc_mask_disable_reg_and_ack()

That bug can be fixed either by using an appropriate irq_mask_ack callback,
or by not defining an irq_mask_ack callback at all. The first option provides
~1.5% more throughput than the second, for a typical use-case.

Whichever option you favor, can we fix this bug in current and stable branches?
(The fix was submitted two months ago.)

Regards.
