Hi, Linus, and Edward.

First of all, thank you very much for being so gentle to take the time
to read my report. For some months now I tried to reach some people in
this CC list, but got no response.

Thanks. I just compiled Linus's tree with your patch and I'm typing
this message running with such kernel. From my very basic testing, it
seems that everything is working as well as it did in 2.6.38.

I have some other bad-irq boxes that I can test on [*], but, so far,
you can add a "Tested-by: Rogério Brito <rbrito@....usp.br>" to your
patch (and, if you like, a Reported-by too).


Thanks a lot,
Rogério Brito.
