[PATCH] kernel: shut up the IRQ mismatch messages

The problem is various drivers legally validly and sensibly try to claim
IRQs but the kernel insists on vomiting forth a giant irrelevant debugging
spew when the types clash.

Edit kernel/irq/manage.c go down to mismatch: in setup_irq() and ifdef out
the if clause that checks for mismatches.  It'll then just do the right
thing and work sanely.

For the current -mm kernel this will do the trick (and moves it into shared
irq debugging as in debug mode the info spew is useful).  I've had a
variant of this in my private tree for some time as I got fed up on the
mess on boxes where old legacy IRQs get reused.
