If someone is working on a driver and hasn't pushed it yet, then it's probably supposed to be using the new pcim_intx() but they won't discover that until they detect the leaks at runtime. Why not leave the pci_intx_unmanaged() name. It's ugly and that will discorage people from introducing new uses. regards, dan carpenter
