Change an error return code from -EAGAIN to -EBUSY since the former is 
misleading.

Nubus slots are geographically addressed and their irqs are equally 
inflexible. -EAGAIN is misleading because retrying will not help fix 
whatever bug it was that made the irq unavailable.

request_irq() itself returns an appropriate error code, so the
correct change is to do:

	err = request_irq( ... );
	if (err) {
	...

and return 'err'.

OK. I'll send a new patch once 2.6.34 is out and I have time to test this 
and some other patches.
