If the problem is caused by dev->irq being 255, and now that we know
that this value is special on x86, wouldn't it make more sense to
restrict this quirk to CONFIG_X86 and simply check for dev->irq ==
0xff? This would save us the extra effort of maintaining a list of
machines which need the quirk.

This field is undocumented so I have no idea what it does. Is it not
sufficient to set irq to IRQ_NOTCONNECTED?
