One of the 'biggest' reasons is that there isn't any good 'default' to
use for polling. I had code i

I have a Compaq Armada M700 with the same pcic problem as the other guys
with Dell's and whatnot - I've read Warners mails stating the pro's and
con's of this situation.

the pcic irq during 4.2-RC1 installation (!).

irq 0 is there specifically so that the irq is listed in userconfig so
that users can change it.
