Len, how about this patch - it re-enables the link disable and then
re-codes the ELCR setting to match.

Basically it just computes the new ELCR: if acpi_noirq is set, it leaves
it at the old value, otherwise it zeroes it - and in both cases it fixes
the SCI entry.

Your argument for doing this ended up being convincing, so the only
difference between this and your debug patch is really just the obvious
organizational ones, and the test for "acpi_noirq", which I think is
needed (since if acpi_noirq is set, we're not going to disable and
re-enable the PCI interrupts, so we'll just have to trust ELCR).
