My use of LiS does not include real/physical adapters, so I don't
use any of the *pci* or *irq* calls. They don't exist on an s390
kernel, so that is where that #ifdef came from originally. I did
a blind extension of all my 64bit #ifdefs to include x86_64 and
this one got caught up in that sweep. The kernel symbol request_irq
does exist for RHEL4-x86_64, so that #ifdef should be fixed to
remove the conditional on x86_64 platforms. Sorry about that.
The same problem may exist for other #ifdefs in the 'C' patch.
