Title:
  2.6.39 and later have lost "irqfixup" and "irqpoll" functionality

Bug description:
  I have several similar HP boxes that boot with IRQ errors, for the USB
  subsystem, like this:

    irq 19: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
    ...

  So I have indeed always used the "irqpoll" kernel argument, and that
  has fixed the USB performance problems.

  Under 2.6.39 and 3.0, the irqpoll fix has stopped working.  The logs
  say "try booting with the 'irqpoll' option", though they also show
  that argument was present.

  Here is some context on the IRQ errors:

  These machines all have a PCI-E x16 slot, for video cards.  They only
  have the IRQ problems when that slot is used; if I revert to onboard
  video, they go away.  When I do use a video card, as I'd prefer to do,
  the errors come regardless of which card, whether it is ATI or Nvidia,
  with open or proprietary drivers.  "Irqpoll" has always taken care of
  them, until 2.6.39 arrived.

  At first I was uncertain whether it was just a problem with the boot
  argument taking effect, but now I have seen the logs do say "Misrouted
  IRQ fixup and polling support enabled".

  I'll be happy to provide more information, if possible.  Thank you.
