2.4.2-ac16 PIIX4 ACPI getting wrong IRQ?

With 2.4.3-pre1, /proc/pci contained:
> Bus 0, device 7, function 3:
> Bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 1).

With 2.4.2-ac16, /proc/pci contains:
> Bus 0, device 7, function 3:
> Bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 1).
> IRQ 9.

So the ACPI function of the PIIX4 is now being given
IRQ 9. I don't want this. I was using IRQ 9 for a
PCMCIA device.

So I tried booting the kernel with "acpi=off" and
"pci=irqmask=0x0800", but the result was the same.

Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt says that
"pci=irqmask=0xMMMM ... sets a bit mask of IRQs allowed
to be assigned". This parameter is being ignored.

[... searches through kernel sources ...]

Well I see that this is the result of a change to
/usr/src/linux-2.4.2-ac16/arch/i386/kernel/pci_pc.c
which looks deliberate:

< static void __init pci_fixup_piix4_acpi(struct pci_dev *d)
< {
< /*
< * PIIX4 ACPI device: hardwired IRQ9
< */
< d->irq = 9;
< }

What's going on?
