As I just commented on the previous version, WARN() is probably too
verbose (and scary). Make it an informational.

However, I see another problem. What is the requested range straddles
the boundary between reserved and non-reserved IRQs? It would be good to
give some information about which irq range was requested and maybe
report which ones were available.... or check to see if the request is
inside or partially inside the reserved region?
