I've sent the shorter version as I think would be the easiest fix, please 
check if this is acceptable which may save you some work on updating your 
more complex patch which I think might not be needed at this point until 
something is found to need more interrupts in the ppc440_pcix model.

I've checked that this improves sound with ES1370, haven't checked with 
pci-ohci so you could verify that.
