Since my device is no longer affected, it is indeed more a theoretical
problem. However, given how many different ACPI setups we have already
seen I would not be surprised if there are devices out there that have
no IRQ listed at all. Those would run into this BUG.

Okay, I understand. I personally don't mind if we keep everything as-is
here, I was just wondering if you have missed the patch. :)
