Correct. What I meant is that the i801 driver can handle the -EINVAL return
from request_irq() today, but other drivers don't. I agree that we need to fix
them anyway and a failure to request the interrupt is better than a silent 'no
interrupts delivered' issue.
 
Though instead of returning -EINVAL I prefer an explicit error code for this
case. That way a driver can distinguish between the 'not connected' case and
other failure modes. Something like the patch below should work.
