I'm a little confused with your comment above. "INT lost while kernel processing the last INT".
I would think it won't be lost, maybe more like delayed in processing. 
Doesn't the interrupt controller send the INT when the kernel re-enables the INT again.
With what u are suggesting we would lose INT a lot.

what do u thhink ? Anybody else, any comments ? 

Thanks,
Bisla
