[COMMIT] EPIA irq fixed, thanks to Kevin Hester

[Kevin Hester]

Alternate solution:

I've seen other boards where certain PCI addresses cause hangs.  If you want to have full kernel PCI support, you might want to make a patch that lets you skip bad PCI addresses.  i.e. some new kernel parameters like "badpci=foo,foo,...".  In this case "badpci=0xa8".

This might be useful in the future.
