There is a simple problem with the patch which is that an "IRQ 0" can and does
actually exist on a bunch of platforms, at least to the best of my knowledge.

Checking for -1 (which means for definite, no irq at all, because it is
totally unambiguous, as a -1 IRQ numbering is "impossible") is more correct.
This was discussed years ago.

Would this break any existing platforms? If so, can those be fixed
together or does it become a much bigger problem that way?


Pata_of_platform stacks upon pata_platform. This patch fixes problem
concerning definition of "no irq" without touch any other place. So
far I can't see any new problem.
