Well... if the device needs to be accessed to service an interrupt then
you do have a problem. For example... the PIC :-)
Problem is.. it's not practical nor really feasible generally to have
IRQs off on all CPUs during PCI probing neither... Unless we define that
the initial boot time probing is "special", and the first pass that
actually probes devices (and doesn't muck around with the sysfs
hierarchy etc...) can be run in a special context with all interrupt
servicing disabled on the PIC, though that will require some arch
support.
Ben.
