- kernelparams-detect-if-and-which-parameter-parsing-enabled-irqs.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     kernelparams: detect if and which parameter parsing enabled irq's
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kernelparams-detect-if-and-which-parameter-parsing-enabled-irqs.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: kernelparams: detect if and which parameter parsing enabled irq's
From: Ard van Breemen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

The parsing of some kernel parameters seem to enable irq's at a stage that
irq's are not supposed to be enabled (Particularly the ide kernel parameters).

Having irq's enabled before the irq controller is initialized might lead to a
kernel panic.  This patch only detects this behaviour and warns about wich
parameter caused it.
