    Yes, I meant that, though perhaps got somewhat muddled up. Another variant 
is to call the current ravb_queue_interrupt() ravb_dma_interrupt_unlocked() 
(after adding the register reads there) calling this one ravb_dma_interrupt() 
but I don't insist on the former, ravb_queue_interrupt() is good enough as is; 
just rename this function please.
