Ah, you're right.  I created some poor style (checking the return
value after intervening code) with 9e808eb6a768, and then 88555b481958
fell into the trap I had laid.

I put this on pci/irq-fixups for a continuation of your work and
started it off with this patch.

I will rebase the branch after -rc1, but that shouldn't be a problem
for you because I normally apply patches from email rather than
pulling them directly.  I'll be on vacation July 14-28, so that
probably won't happen until August.

Thanks!
