PATCH: Defence Against IRQ Routing Tables

PATCH: Defence Against IRQ Routing Tables

[Alan Cox]

This is the proposed final patch for handling boxes with totally bogus
IRQ tables. If you boot with the new option "irqfixup" then the system will
attempt to handle misrouted interrupts. This also fixes an IRQ accounting
bug in the prototype.
