    Meelis reported the following warning on a quad P3 HP NetServer museum piece:
    
    WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 258 at kernel/irq/chip.c:244 __irq_startup+0x80/0x100
    EIP: __irq_startup+0x80/0x100
    irq_startup+0x7e/0x170

    do_one_initcall+0x45/0x1e0
    
    This is caused by the rewrite of the irq activation/startup sequence which
    missed to convert a callsite in the irq legacy auto probing code.
    
    To fix this irq_activate_and_startup() needs to gain a return value so the
    pending logic can work proper.
