Commit 991de2e59090 ("PCI, x86: Implement pcibios_alloc_irq() and
pcibios_free_irq()") changes the way to allocate PCI legacy IRQ
for PCI devices on x86 platforms. Instead of allocating PCI legacy
IRQs when pcibios_enable_device() gets called, now pcibios_alloc_irq()
will be called by pci_device_probe() to allocate PCI legacy IRQs
when binding PCI drivers to PCI devices.

But some device drivers, such as eata, directly access PCI devices
without implementing corresponding PCI drivers, so pcibios_alloc_irq()
won't be called for those PCI devices and wrong IRQ number may be
used to manage the PCI device.

So detect such a case in pcibios_enable_device() by checking
pci_dev->driver is NULL and call pcibios_alloc_irq() to allocate PCI
legacy IRQs.

Sorry for the late report but this patch messes up things for kexec - rebooting is delayed with the error messages as shown in the fuzzy screen image here:

http://www.users.on.net/~arthur.marsh/20150910541.jpg

(the error messages are similar to what I was seeing on boot-up before Jiang Liu's patch)

and the SCSI card is not recognised by the kernel after a kexec restart, and eata fails to load.
