It could go back a lot farther than that.  I don't think our interrupt 
setup has been changed significantly for a long time, with one 
exception: We added the IRQF_DISABLED flag fairly recently.  But of 
course, we now know that it doesn't do what we expected.

It's surprising that more people haven't experienced this problem and 
reported it.

There still are a few places where spaces were used instead of tabs for 
indenting.  Aside from that it looks fine.
