The patch titled kernel: shut up the IRQ mismatch messages has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kernel-shut-up-the-irq-mismatch-messages.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: kernel: shut up the IRQ mismatch messages From: Alan Cox <alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The problem is various drivers legally validly and sensibly try to claim IRQs but the kernel insists on vomiting forth a giant irrelevant debugging spew when the types clash. Edit kernel/irq/manage.c go down to mismatch: in setup_irq() and ifdef out the if clause that checks for mismatches. It'll then just do the right thing and work sanely. For the current -mm kernel this will do the trick (and moves it into shared irq debugging as in debug mode the info spew is useful). I've had a variant of this in my private tree for some time as I got fed up on the mess on boxes where old legacy IRQs get reused.
