Even for interrupts, it's only a 90% solution because we do still get a few interrupts before the quirk runs. There may not be enough to trigger the "IRQ nobody cared" check, but that check is based on an arbitrary number that happens to be more than the number of interrupts we see, so it's basically still a race. But as I said, if interrupts are the *only* problem, this is probably OK. DMA is a bigger problem. If there is a DMA issue, I don't want to fix part of it. If there is no DMA issue, I'd like to know how we *know* there's no issue, and why we're still seeing interrupts with no DMA. If there's a separate fix for the DMA issue, I'd like to know why we can't fix the interrupt issue the same place we fixed the DMA issue.
