Must be global warming, I'm getting a lot more irq storms than usual. Now that I switched over to x86_64, I booted up and got another irq storm. So I added my previous patch and it didn't fix it. Looking further, I found that the mask and unmask is done directly in the x86_64/io_apic.c file.
This patch does basically the same thing as my previous patch, but to the x86_64/io_apic.c file.
