register_virtio_device() is doing something silly by overwriting what the caller
put into .bus_id.  This causes the interrupt line for all virtio devices to show
up as "0", "1", etc. in /proc/interrupts.  The attached patch fixes it.

    register_virtio_device was doing something silly, in that it was overwriting
    what the calling driver stuck into .bus_id" for the name.  This caused
    problems in the output of /proc/interrupts, since when you request_irq(),
    it doesn't actually copy the devname you pass in but just stores a pointer
    to the data.  The fix is to just not have register_virtio_device do anything
    with the bus_id, and assume the higher level driver set it up properly.
