Preferably such drivers would be converted to threaded interrupts, but I thought Alan mentioned an IDE chipset that was so broken even that would be impossible (could not mask the IRQ for it would corrupt stuff). The thing I am strongly opposing though, is keeping interrupts enabled for regular drivers on sane hardware. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
