I'm having issues figuring out what's happening here.
s->real_device.irq is 0, yet the PCI config space read of
PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN returns something different than 0.

AFAICT this is due to some kind of error in Linux, so that even when
the device is supposed to have a valid IRQ the sysfs node it is set to
0, do you know the actual underlying cause of this?

Thanks, Roger.
