It can't be that, because splhigh() doesn't mask "fast" interrupts.

BTW, there is a problem with the PCI interrupt demultiplexor not
supporting "fast" interrupts.  I tried running the cy driver with
"slow" interrupts (a one line change to delate the line that sets
RI_FAST).  The (12 byte) fifo was overrun by a factor of about 4
for every syscons vt switch (because busy waiting is used to set
the LEDs and the LEDs are set at spltty()).
