  SVN rev 216679 on 2010-12-23 15:17:28Z by jhb
  
  Drop the icu_lock spinlock while pausing briefly after masking the
  interrupt in the I/O APIC before moving it to a different CPU.  If the
  interrupt had been triggered by the I/O APIC after locking icu_lock but
  before we masked the pin in the I/O APIC, then this could cause the
  interrupt to be pending on the "old" CPU and it would finally trigger
  after we had moved the interrupt to the new CPU.  This could cause us to
  panic as there was no interrupt source associated with the old IDT vector
  on the old CPU.  Dropping the lock after the interrupt is masked but
  before it is moved allows the interrupt to fire and be handled in this
  case before it is moved.
