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.
