Subject: Re: [PATCH] VIA IRQ quirk fixup only in XT_PIC mode Take 2

Hi, Sorry for so late answer , I have been in holidays and  busy.

I remember check my emails that I send to Len Brown about this subject.
And I found, what I want, is just revert one patch of Bjorn Helgaas :)
between kernel 2.6.12-rc5 and 6.13.

Check this out
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=11858102

so I propose this patch like this :

 static void quirk_via_irq(struct pci_dev *dev)
  {
  	u8 irq, new_irq;
  
 +#ifdef CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC
 +	if (nr_ioapics && !skip_ioapic_setup)
 +		return;
 +#endif
 +#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI
 +	if (acpi_irq_model != ACPI_IRQ_MODEL_PIC)
 +		return;
 +#endif
  	new_irq = dev->irq & 0xf;
  	pci_read_config_byte(dev, PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE, &irq);
  	if (new_irq != irq) {

I still convinced that we need patch even with acpi=off , the problem
doesn't appear only on boot time.
