Apparently the Intel PRO/100 device enables interrupts on reset. Unless
firmware explicitly disables PRO/100 interrupts, we can get a flood of
interrupts when a driver attaches to an unrelated device that happens to
share the PRO/100 IRQ.
This should resolve this "irq 11: nobody cared" bug report:

I'm really worried that we are burdening the kernel for a very very rare
condition. Do we want to apply this for one stupid firmware?
Can't early userspace just run setpci to fix this one?
