Subject: [PATCH] request_irq() always returns -EINVAL with a NULL handler.

I assume that these ancient network drivers were trying to find out if
an irq is available.  eepro.c expecting +EBUSY was doubly wrong.

I'm not sure that can_request_irq() is the right thing, but these drivers
are definitely wrong.

request_irq should BUG() on bad input, and these would have been found
earlier.
