This spams my log with interrupt sharing violations.  As long as we do
not know that the interrupt slot is empty, we need IRQF_PROBE_SHARED
here.

Another problem: the interrupt controller doesn't get correctly
initialized for some interrupt line that didn't already have some
routing:
| $ cat /proc/interrupts
|            CPU0
|   0:         63   IO-APIC-edge      timer
|   1:         96   IO-APIC-edge      i8042
|   2:          0    XT-PIC-XT        hpet2
|   6:          3   IO-APIC-edge      floppy
|   7:          0   IO-APIC-edge      parport0
|   8:          3   IO-APIC-edge      rtc
|   9:          0   IO-APIC-fasteoi   acpi
| ...

Additionally, I vaguely remember that on X86, there is some funny stuff
going on with interrupt lines 0, 2 and 8 which means that the interrupt
number passed to request_irq() is not necessarily identical to the
hardware interrupt line.

I don't know which of these problems is responsible, or if I'm totally
wrong, but on my machine, interrupts from hpet2 do not arrive.
