If no driver requested the shared interrupt yet, it should be disabled
in the interrupt controller. So the interrupts do not reach the CPU.
The interrupt storm (on the CPU) starts as soon as some driver
that shares the interrupt with b43 requests and thus enables the
interrupt. And that always happens after the PCI fixup. Thus this is
safe.
