Ok, thanks for the explanation.

Can you give any hints as to how we can classify this misconfiguration? 
Barry's system has a level triggered IRQ assigned to sky2, and that IRQ 
is not shared:

I'm just looking for something I can take to the ACPI developers, other 
than "its broken because Stephen said so" ;)

Thanks.
