Argh!  That IRQ rewrite patch is the critical patch to get into 2.6.18
as it is currently totally broken without it, and works with it!
Any chance?  I mean, it was working in the early -rc versions of .18
before Ben changed the IRQ world.  This is just cleanup effort to
have it continue to work in in .18.
