So prior to 2.6.10, you did something like this?

	request_irq(pdev->irq, ...);
	pci_write_config_byte(pdev, PCI_CACHE_LINE_SIZE, 0x08);
	pci_write_config_byte(pdev, PCI_LATENCY_TIMER, 0x40);
	...
	pci_enable_device(pdev);

What sort of interrupts does the device generate before it's
enabled?  I can't find anything in the PCI spec that actually
prohibits interrupts before the driver starts up the device,
but it does seem strange.

You wouldn't want your ISR mucking around with a half-initialized
device, so does it have to check a "device_configured" flag
or something?
