Err, no, it shouldn't. :)  mi_handle_intr() will use a different callback for the
different cases.  It should call the disable_and_eoi() hook if the interrupt should
be masked, and it should just call teh eoi() hook if the interrupt just needs to be
eoi'd but not disabled (because a filter claimed it).
