I assume that these ancient network drivers were trying to find out if an irq is available. eepro.c expecting +EBUSY was doubly wrong.
I'm not sure that can_request_irq() is the right thing, but these drivers are definitely wrong. request_irq should BUG() on bad input, and these would have been found earlier.
