Andrew, can you put the one-liner into -mm and see if it gathers any 
reports? 

I think Neil already reported that it fixed a lost interrupt problem for 
him, but I'm worried that it might result in interrupt storms for others. 

In particular, I have this pretty strong memory that we tried to do 
something like this a long time ago, and it caused problems at least 
with the legacy ISA/ATA interrupts (irq 14/15).

On the other hand, my memory is pretty damn bad at times, and besides, I 
hope that that "hardcoded" case just above it is the one that takes care 
of the old ATA interrupts. This is one of those times when the only 
guaranteed right thing to do would be to be bug-for-bug compatible with 
whatever crud MS-Win does..
