What was the NVRAM partition read issue??

I just ran into this one after pulling this morning.  This looks like a
result of IDE probing for devices generating an interrupt as a side
effect, but not having called request_irq().  request_irq will put the
real-to-virtual mapping in the radix tree.  Since that has not occurred
xics_get_irq() will not know about the early interrupt and will disable
it.  This will cause all future interrupts to be missed for IDE.  I've
attached a patch to fix the problem by going down the "slow path" in
finding the real-to-virtual mappings of the irq when the radix tree
takes a miss.

Thanks,
Jake
