No need to do this. In fact probably best not to. It'll be done later when
the scheduler starts.

You shouldn't need to mask or unmask it because global interrupts are
disabled in ISRs.

A missing \n? For an interrupt handler it is _lots_ better to use
diag_printf from <cyg/infra/diag.h>. printf is not interrupt safe.
