If we want to play it safe, we should probably introduce something like
this to ioport.h:

+#define IORESOURCE_IRQ_DEFERRED	(1<<6)

Then we can populate IRQ resources initially with that. And later on
during the driver probe, we know it's safe to populate the resource
if res->flags & IORESOURCE_IRQ_DEFERRED.

That fixes the $Subject bug, and gets us a little bit further for
making more changes later on.

Tony
