DEBUG_SHIRQ code exposed that e1000 was not ready for incoming interrupts
after having called pci_request_irq. This obviously requires us to finish
our software setup which assigns the irq handler before we request the
irq.

All these do indeed look like fixes to me. But they look like low priority fixes that would need some public testing behind them, and it's pretty late in the 2.6.21-rc game.

I'll merge them into an e1000-fixes branch for now (and propagates through #ALL to akpm's -mm). If replies to this email indicate we really should push these upstream for 2.6.21-rc, it will be easy enough to do so via #e1000-fixes.
