Hi,
this patch fixes the hard hang (no SYSRQ) on inserting
any PCMCIA ATA/IDE card (e.g. CompactFlash, Clik40 etc)
to a PCI-Cardbus bridge add-in card.
Thanks David for his valuable explanation about what happens:
ide-probe registers it's irq handler too late! After it
triggers the interrupt during the probe the (shared) irq
loops forever, effectively wedging the machine completely.
Regards, Gunther
