Subject: [PATCH] mac8390: change an error return code and some cleanup, take
 3


Change an error return code from -EAGAIN to -EBUSY since the former is 
misleading.

Nubus slots are geographically addressed and their irqs are equally 
inflexible. -EAGAIN is misleading because retrying will not help fix 
whatever bug it was that made the irq unavailable.

Also promote the log message. Likewise some other KERN_INFO log messages.
