Once again, how does it cause a hang?
If the user specifies an IRQ, we should trust them. If they don't specify
an IRQ then probe (as in patch 5/6).

IMO the extra complexity is not justified by the possibility of machines
with misconfigured BIOS or incorrect module parameters.
I don't want another irq probing mechanism. We just got rid of one.
But I won't mind if the SCSI maintainers who know ISA better than I do
would like to review this.
