Something has gone badly wrong.  This patch took six weeks to turn up
in linux-next.

Apart from anything else this led me to have to fix something which was
already fixed.

All you guys *saw* that fix and still this didn't prompt anyone to
wonder what had gone wrong.

My fix is better, too.  The op_amd_handle_ibs() return value is
ignored, so it should return void.
