I guess that's OK, as gianfar.c appears to be a ppc-only thing, and ppc
does implement NO_IRQ.

However what a lot (all) rtc drivers do is

	if (irq <= 0)

which (afaik) will dtrt in all cases: NO_IRQ==0, NO_IRQ<0,
!defined(NO_IRQ).

Then again, it will dtwt if the platform allows irq numbers of zero.

argh, how did we get into this pickle?
