This patch has been reverted again, due to 
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/127153/

commit 82e5fc2a34fa9ffea38f00c4066b7e600a0ca5e6

    Revert "rt2800pci: handle spurious interrupts"
    
    This reverts commit 4ba7d9997869d25bd223dea7536fc1ce9fab3b3b.
    
    The original patch was a misguided attempt to improve performance on
    some hardware that is apparently prone to spurious interrupt generation.
