Hi,

please ignore/revert the patchset for linux/arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c:
o changed the disable_edge_ioapic_irq routine
o changed level to edge handling for all IRQs that use dest_LowestPrio
delivery_mode:
- According to Intel Architecture Soft. Dev. Man. Vol 3, Chapter 7,
Page 7-26pp:
Delivery Mode
000(Fixed) Deliver ..<snip>..
The fixed interrupt is treated as an
edge-triggered interrupt even if
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
programmed otherwise.
001(Lowest Priority)
Same as fixed mode, ..<snip>..

I missread Intel Architecture Soft. Dev. Man. Vol 3, Chapter 7, Page 7-26pp...
The upper comment refers to the ICR not the IO-APIC ... so please forgive my
false assumptions.

Besides that the other patches sent by me, I would like to see in the next
release, cause I
think they are the Right Thing (tm) .... :)

So long,
Harald
