Subject: Workaround for ASM108X interrupt problem (nobody cared ...)

My VDR system (ASUS P8H67-V) is running stable with 3 PCI cards (2 DVB, 
1 network)
by using the following kernel options:  noirqdebug irqpoll

This seems to work as
- With noirqdebug the interrupts are not disabled (and the ASM108X 
interrupt bursts stop after some time).
- With irqpoll the interrupts with lower priority than the ASM108X 
interrupts are handled in time.

I hope this workaround helps to get also some other systems running 
stable with PCI cards.

Karl
