The idea was that all non-rx events that were pending at the start of the
function have been Acked at this point, by writing to the IntrMask
register before processing the particular event. If the same kind of event
arrives after the Ack, then opening in the mask should immediately trigger
the interrupt handler, which reactivates the poll function.

If you instead want to re-arm the poll function every time that 'status'
was non-zero, you would have to also return 'budget' to the caller, like

+      if (status)
+             work_done = budget; /* pretend RX is still busy */
        if (work_done < budget) {

I think that should also work, but it seems more expensive since it would
always go back into the poll function after a non-RX event, rather than
only going back into the irq handler if a new event has just arrived.
