help with unhandled IRQ error with mpt2sas driver and powerpc 460EX

[Ayman El-Khashab]

Hello, I am using the mpt2sas driver on the canyonlands / 460EX board.  
I've already found and fixed one problem, but can't get past the 
unhandled IRQ.

The first problem I noticed is that the physical address is read into a 
32 bit variable, but the 460ex has a 36 bit bus so the ioremap would 
always fail.  I've change the defn of chip_phys in mpt2sas_base.h to u64 
and that cleared up that issue.   As soon as the unmask_interrupts 
method is called (or not long after), I get an interrupt -- presumably 
from the sas controller.  If I comment out the unmask, the interrupt 
never occurs.  If I unmask them, I get the interrupt.  I've traced the 
code through the interrupt handler all the way to ~ line 757.

 rpf = &ioc->reply_post_free[ioc->reply_post_host_index];

I've verified that at the end of this, IRQ_NONE is returned.  At this 
point the kernel prints the following -- the last statements lead me to 
think that the sas controller expected something but never got it.  I am 
unsure how to proceed at this point.  I am using a denx kernel head 
pulled from git today since there were some changes to thsi driver for 
endian issues.

irq 18: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
