Actually, the cy(4) driver uses explicit enable_intr()'s as does some of the
386 fpu code, and the pre-spinlock variant of the sio(4) driver also used
explicit enable_intr().  I'm not a big fan out of it myself, but some things do
need it.  The manpages look good though I'd be inclined personally to collapse
them into a single intr.9 manpage.  Also, the actual functions are declared
in <machine/cpufunc.h>, and I didn't write these, I am just tweaking them. :)
