Subject: 2.6 Altix: console fix for CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ usage
From: Pat Gefre <pfg@xxxxxxx>
The sn console driver was snagged by the use of CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ!
The request_irq() immediate call to the interrupt handler caused
another attempt to lock the port lock - deadlock.
This is a patch to fix that.
