Re: [PATCH] parport: Use the PCI IRQ if offered

Hi Alan,

just to confirm, IRQ detection works fine on my Lava parallel card.

The instrument driver module that registers an irq handler via
parport_register_device gets false events when parport irq is shared e.g. with
an ethernet controller. Should irq sharing awareness go to our handler
function or parport_irq_handler/parport_generic_irq still needs some
additional patch? (Or have I just missed this second patch?)

Thanks

Gabor Kovacs
