Subject: Re: [PATCH 5/7] drivers/atm/eni.c: ensure arguments to request_irq and free_irq are compatible

i am pretty sure that request_irq() shouldnt be changed but rather
free_irq() changed.  the last argument of request_irq() is passed to the
interrupt routine (ent_int in this case).  if you change that you need
to update the interrupt routine.  fixing free_irq would be easier.
