port-i386/45160: 8259 PIC masking in IOAPIC mode



        Note: There was a bad value `no | yes' for the field `Confidential'.
        It was set to the default value of `yes'.

>Description:
Leaving the 8259 PIC interrupts unmasked while using the IOAPIC causes spurious 
interrupts that somehow lead to hardware deadlock.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run NetBSD on a recent ASUS AMD board/box.
>Fix:
Mask the 8259 PIC interrupts when switching to the IOAPIC.
