pci-irq VIA82C586 problem on IBM 4694-205 kernel version 2.4.29

[Salomon, Frank]

Hi All,

With kernel version 2.4.18 I have no problem to run pcnet32.o on the IBM 
4694-205. Now I switch to kernel version 2.4.29. insmod crc32 : ok , 
insmod mii : ok , insmod pcnet32 : ok.

But if I run ifconfig (ifup) the system fries. Can't toggle the numlock 
led. I find out that the system generates permanently interrupts from 
the pcnet32 chip after calling request_irq (irq=9).

A possible solution could be (only tested on IBM 4694-205 and I don't 
have other systems with VIA Tech.):
