Can't we have a more dynamic mechanism than that?  You don't want 
potentially shared interrupts in extra masks unless its absolutely
necessary (e.g. PPP is compiled into the kernel, but the net mask
is only modified when that line discipline is (de)activated and
only for the device interrupts that are engaged in PPP activity).
