PCI scanning IRQ fix.

[Gianluca Guida]

Hi,

My laptop's motherboard set its RTL8139 NIC IRQ at a value that is not
included in the range 0<=x<16 and it's not 255.

GNU Mach can't handle that, and when I try a 'devprobe eth0' I get a
panic due to a failed assert (irq < 16). This patch tell GNU Mach to
ignore this kind of IRQ.

The real solution for this problem would be an PCI IRQ Router, which
is what I am going to port/implement in Mach soon. For now, this patch
helps by both removing the failed assert and by noticing the user that
the device is not being used for unassigned IRQ.

I guess that for such a small path using Savannah's Patch system is a
waste, right?

Regards,
Gianluca

        * linux/src/drivers/net/pci-scan.c (pci_drv_register): Skip device
        if we are getting an invalid IRQ >= 16 and different from 255 (it
        happens in some motherboard).
