Subject: [PATCH] 2.6.22.6 user-mode linux: use address instead of value as argument in os_free_irq_by_cb

Hi,
  There is a bug in os_free_irq_by_cb, when the first element
  of active_fds list  is free, the value of active_fds is not
  updated, just value in stack is updated.

  The intresting thing is that without this patch, a poweroff
  in user mode linux guest will halt the host linux system.It
  seems that after the tracing thread is dead, the syscall to
  sys_reboot of the traced thread is executed by host. I don't
  know if it is another bug.
