One of the changes which will be required for LKM device drivers is
to move the registration of interrupt handlers into the device's
attach routine, which will eliminate this problem completely.  I would
have done this before but have had no time.  If nobody else gets to it
before I reorganize devconf the next time, I'll look into doing it
then.  Please, somebody get to it before then!
