Right. So we could certainly do something like this INVALID_IRQ thingy, but
that looks a bit weird. What would request_irq() return?

If it returns success, then drivers might make the wrong decision. If it
returns an error code, then the i801 one works, but we might have to fix
others anyway.
I was thinking request_irq() could return -EINVAL if the caller passed
INVALID_IRQ. That should tell drivers that this interrupt won't work.

We'd be making request_irq() return -EINVAL in some cases where it
currently returns success. But even though it returns success today,
I don't think the driver is getting interrupts, because the wire isn't
connected.
Correct. What I meant is that the i801 driver can handle the -EINVAL return
from request_irq() today, but other drivers don't. I agree that we need to fix
them anyway and a failure to request the interrupt is better than a silent 'no
interrupts delivered' issue.
Though instead of returning -EINVAL I prefer an explicit error code for this
case. That way a driver can distinguish between the 'not connected' case and
other failure modes. Something like the patch below should work.
This patch looks great to me, thanks for all your help!

Chen, do you want to put all this together as formal patches with
changelogs and post to the mailing lists?
With pleasure. I will test it on my environment first and send it out.
thank all of you for this problem.
