There is more to be confused about -- you don't get the host/device connection 
interrupt from the PHY, but you dig one of them from the EHCI host and the other 
from the EHCI host too -- which is pretty messed up already.

We can certainly use IRQF_SHARED to trap some of the interrupts in the PHY code, 
but that's still quite weird.
