It has always been that way on all ports, until June.
It didn't make sense to change this without preparing
drivers for it, and to do it on two ports only.
So I think I'm right here.

The pmf registered shutdown hooks are also run with interrupts
disabled. At least for now, but I somehow believe that this
saves a lot of trouble with interrupt handlers, in particular
in the shared interrupt case.
