Given what Jens said:
	Parameter defaults to 0, which means:
	1. autodetect (=keep IRQ BIOS has set up)
	2. if that fails use CONFIG_CS5535_MFGPT_DEFAULT_IRQ
	(see drivers/misc/cs5535-mfgpt.c: cs5535_mfgpt_set_irq())
	Autodetect works fine for our (ex-LiPPERT, now ADLINK) COTS boards:
	Linux auto-uses IRQ chosen in BIOS Setup. Wouldn't know about other
	companies, of course, but (2.) means parameter can be avoided via make
	menuconfig.
are you willing to okay this?
David
