The m68k Atari Falcon IDE driver shares the IDE interrupt with DMA completion, SCSI and floppy controller. The DMA controller does not provide a way to check whether it had generated an interrupt, so the shared interrupt has to be reserved for exclusive use by the respective driver. To this end, host->get_lock was added to allow both locking the interrupt and passing the relevant interrupt handler to the machine specific interrupt code. This feature is used exclusively by the Falcon IDE driver. Unconditionally registering the IDE interrupt handler in init_irq() when host->get_lock is set does result in two calls being dispatched to the IDE handler on each IDE interrupt, and one spurious call on each SCSI, DMA or floppy interrupt. The following patch changes init_irq() to request the IDE interrupt only if host->get_lock is not set.
