Hi, Dave,
lspci -H1 indeed shows the IRQ number. It turns out that the commit
introduced in 4.0 breaking this is
b4b55cda587442477a3a9f0669e26bba4b7800c0 is the first bad commit
commit b4b55cda587442477a3a9f0669e26bba4b7800c0

x86/PCI: Refine the way to release PCI IRQ resources
It's obvious from the commit message that unloading the driver *should*
drop the irq resource but its not
obvious what's reallocating that resource on driver load...
Anyway, it turns out that adding a
pci_disable_device(pdev) in the pci driver's remove() method
(vmw_remove() in my case) appears to fix the problem:
The device irq is removed on driver unload and enabled again on driver
load There appears to be no pci_disable_device() on driver exit in core drm.
However it still beats me why other drm drivers aren't seeing this, and
IMHO that commit should probably add a warning message if the pci device
isn't disabled on pci driver unload......
