Sure that is missing – I was basically asking whether the driver could
live without that feature.

Consider that point obsolete, see below

Ah, I see – thoguh the issue is when it's called several times with the
*same* value, isn't it?

E.g.

pcim_intx(pdev, 1); // 0 is remembered as the old value
pcim_intx(pdev, 1); // 0 is falsely remembered as the old value

Also, it would seem that calling the function for the first time like
that:

pcim_intx(pdev, 0); // old value: 1

is at least incorrect, because INTx should be 0 per default, shouldn't
it? Could then even be a 1st class bug, because INTx would end up being
enabled despite having been disabled all the time.

At first glance that looks like a good idea to me, thanks for working
this out!

IMO you can submit that as a patch so we can discuss it separately.
