Re: qstor driver -> irq 193: nobody cared

[Alberto Alonso <alberto@ggsys.net>]

I have patched the system. I'll let you know if I get the
same problem. Since I can't reproduce it on demand I may not see
the problem for months. I don't know what happened the other day
when it just started to happen repeatedly, I haven't had the issue
since.

Thanks,

Alberto
