I would prefer to keep the semantics of setting a vector and then
allowing the interrupt itself to be disabled- the RTEMS task interrupt
level provides a means of controlling the set of enabled interrupts on
a per task basis.  Its not been useful to me yet, but I'd hate to
loose functionality in an enhancement.
