Unfortunately it's not if you're on a shared interrupt.  You need to
call bus_teardown_intr() before you are detached from the ithread.  See
the thread near this message:
  Message-ID: <1742240000.1051807110 at aslan.btc.adaptec.com>

The end result, I thought, was that jhb@ was going to look into
bus_teardown_intr() to change it to install a null handler with proper
locking (intr masking?).  I hate to start this topic again but I've
brought it up a couple times and still haven't heard that this has been
addressed.
