Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: Avoid calling request_irq() many times for the same interrupt

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>

In principle acpi_os_install_interrupt_handler() may be called
multiple times for different interrupts, either from
acpi_ev_get_gpe_xrupt_block(), or from acpi_ev_install_sci_handler().
However, it always attempts to request the same interrupt,
acpi_gbl_FADT.sci_interrupt and it doesn't check whether or not this
interrupt has already been requested.

Modify this function so that it refuses to request interrupts other
than acpi_gbl_FADT.sci_interrupt and change
acpi_os_remove_interrupt_handler() so that it refuses to free such
interrupts.  Use the observation that the only supported ACPI
interrupt must be equal to acpi_gbl_FADT.sci_interrupt and drop an
unnecessary variable acpi_irq_irq.

This change has been tested on Toshiba Portege R500 and HP nx6325
without introducing any visible problems.
