Did something change in the way interrupts are handled in 1.99.11 ?
Specifically, I seem to be having a problem with unmasking interrupts
using 'hdparm -u1', which I have been doing for most of the 1.3 kernels
with a UMC8672 controller and now with the ali14xx.
Background:
ide_setup: ide0=autotune
ide_setup: ide1=autotune
ide_setup: ide0=ali14xxali14xx: base= 0x0f4, regOn= 0x30
hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL1280A, 1222MB w/83kB Cache, LBA, CHS=621/64/63
hda: PIO mode3, t1=120ns, t2=80ns, cycles = 3+1, 3+1
hdc: ST3491A, 408MB w/120kB Cache, CHS=899/15/62
hdc: PIO mode3, t1=180ns, t2=80ns, cycles = 3+3, 3+3
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
I sent the following to the Oops to linux-kernel after running 1.99.11.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address c0000018

After several days of running with interupt unmasking turned off, I tried
again with 1.99.14. It didn't Oops, but I ended up with a corrupted

I know that the documentation warns against unmasking interupts, but as I
said before I have not had any problems with it prior to 1.99.11.
If this could be fixed before 2.0 it would be useful.
