RE: 2.3.99-pre7: intermittent PCMCIA crashes on loading yenta.o

The problem is that the video card is asserting the shared PCI irq,
but the yenta driver is the only one trying to field that interrupt.
And since it doesn't know how to acknowledge the interrupt source, as
soon as the yenta interrupt handler exits, it gets re-triggered.

So... it is a bug in the video driver if it is permitting the card to
generate interrupts, but isn't handling those interrupts.
