[PATCH 0/2] Prevent loss of interrupts in IB/ehca

2008-06-09 Thread Stefan Roscher
This patchset contains two changes for IB/ehca and ibmebus. The first patch enables ibmebus_request_irq() to optionally return the IRQ number, which is used by the second patch to trigger EOI in case of lost interrupts. They should apply cleanly against 2.6.26 git tree. Thanks Stefan _
