I'm still seeing the problematic rt2x00 changes when I pull:

Subject: [PATCH 01/11] rt2800pci: handle spurious interrupts

Some devices may generate spurious interrupts, we have to handle them
otherwise interrupt line will be disabled with below message and driver
will not work:

[ 2052.114334] irq 17: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
