It is not that horribly wrong. The only problem you'll cause by
returning spurious non-zero handled is defeating 'nobody cared'
detection logic. So, if the other device sharing interrupt was raising
spurious interrupt (not likely, most modern controllers have irq pending
bit and drivers can reliably tell whether it is raising interrupt or
not, IDE interface is just ooooold), the machine will lock up hard.
I'll investigate deeper when when I get some spare time but for the time
being, you solution should suffice. Another solution would be switching
the controller into ahci mode which is much better.
