The parsing of some kernel parameters seem to enable irq's at a
stage that irq's are not supposed to be enabled (Particularly the
ide kernel parameters). Having irq's enabled before the irq
controller is initialized might lead to a kernel panic.
This patch only detects this behaviour and warns about wich
parameter caused it.
