Disabling IRQ #19

There also seems to be an interrupt storm during suspend/resume when this
happens:
19: 99968 33 IO-APIC-fasteoi ohci1394

This patch gets rid of both issues and makes the resume as a whole
significantly faster.

New try and this actually _does_ seem to both make sense and work.

I've verified that the interrupt storm really only happens during the
suspend/resume process and not at other times.

I don't actually use firewire, so I cannot test anything other than
checking dmesg and seeing that there are no changes. With the patch
I do see a very slow increase of the interrupt count, so the device
seems active.

Please review the patch carefully, especially the error handling.
The patch is essentially only copy-and-paste work, with checks against
other drivers and the ohci1394_pci_probe function.

This doesn't seem like the best solution to me. If free_irq and request_irq fix anything, then that indicates that the ohci1394 device is generating interrupts at some point during resume, which is likely not a good thing. If the device doesn't have a shared interrupt, then freeing the IRQ line will disable the IRQ line and prevent the interrupt storm, but if the ohci1394 device shared an interrupt with something else then the interrupt storm would still occur.

Likely the driver should be setting some register on the device to disable it from generating interrupts before suspend and it's not doing this.
