[COMMIT] fixes for pcm-5823

[Andrew Ip]

Looks like I have located the problem.  The reason of the ethernet can't get
irq is because pirq routing table is not written properly.  If option 
CONFIG_COMPRESS is set to 0, then everything back to normal.  compression may
affect pirq routing table area.  Also, 2.4.17 and 2.4.19 also have different 
behavior.  On 2.4.19, ping doesn't work even it has an irq.  However, if 
writing an irq to PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE in mainboard.c, then ping works.  2.4.17 
works either way.
