Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Char: istallion, init+locking fixes

Move brdp->iosize assignment in stli_initecp up a few lines to stop the
driver from requesting an I/O region of length 0.

Remove spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore from __stli_sendcmd as
all users of that function take the lock already.

One thing I dislike about this driver: It polls its cards every jiffy to
look for new data. The cards are able to use interrupts (some of the
drivers for other OSes use them), but as far as I know there is no open
documentation. Unfortunately the DOS driver (probably easiest to
analyze) also uses polling. =(
