Some code is obviously missing here...

Here is the next problem - you must give free_irq() the same pointer
that you have passed to request_irq().  So you need a way to get from
a struct pci_dev for your device to the corresponding struct
mantis_pci.  This is done as follows:

1) In your mantis_pci_probe(), when you have initialized the device
successfully, put the pointer to you data structure into the PCI
device structure:

	pci_set_drvdata(pdev, mantis);

2) In mantis_pci_remove() (and later in other PCI driver functions,
like suspend/resume) get this pointer back:

	struct mantis_pci *mantis = pci_get_drvdata(pdev);

Then use that pointer where you need it (e.g., in free_irq()).

3) mantis_pci_remove() should also clear out the pointer to the driver
data:

	pci_set_drvdata(pdev, NULL);
