CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC is enabled, but there is no IO-APIC in this
VAIO and /proc/interrupts shows all XT-PIC.

It matters if you have APIC/IO-APIC support enabled. In marcelo's tree
disable_irq is broken in APIC mode for non SMP.

I'll test with this option enabled then.

Can you show the patch in question?  I guess it's in 2.6.0-test1
already?

I got mail from two people confirming some "patch" fixed it, but nobody
ever sent me the patch in question. I'd guess its making sure the PIO side
is always set up at boot

That was probably from me, I forwarded you an email from Ivan saying
"this aparently fixes Alpha, I'm asking Ben Collins to test back in
2.4.x" but the latter never actually occurred :-)
