SubjectRe: Linux 2.4.19-pre3
Can the authors of this patch post separately on what is fixed here?  I
apply the following patch to work around an eventual hang of the machine
due to IRQ0 being "attached" to the IO APIC, and I'm hoping that this
2.4.19-pre3 patch fixes my problem the correct way. V.s. my workaround
hack.

Thanks much,

Ken.
