"ISTATUS" doesn't appear in the code as a register name.  Neither does
"IMSI".  Please use names that match the code.

Honestly, I don't understand enough about IRQs to determine whether
this is a correct fix.  Hopefully Marc will chime in.  All I really
know how to do is compare all the drivers and see which ones don't fit
the typical patterns.

And speaking of that, I looked at all the users of
irq_set_chained_handler_and_data() in drivers/pci.  All the handlers
except mc_handle_intx() and mc_handle_msi() call chained_irq_enter()
and chained_irq_exit().

Are mc_handle_intx() and mc_handle_msi() just really special, or is
this a mistake?
