skge: use unique IRQ name
Most network drivers request their IRQ when the interface is activated.
skge does it in ->probe() instead, because it can work with two-port
cards where the two net_devices use the same IRQ. This works fine most
of the time, except in some situations when the interface gets renamed.
Consider this example:
1. modprobe skge
The card is detected as eth0 and requests IRQ 17. Directory
/proc/irq/17/eth0 is created.
2. There is an udev rule which says this interface should be called
eth1, so udev renames eth0 -> eth1.
3. modprobe 8139too
The Realtek card is detected as eth0. It will be using IRQ 17 too.
4. ip link set eth0 up
Now 8139too requests IRQ 17.
The result is:
WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:590 proc_register ...
proc_dir_entry '17/eth0' already registered
...
And "ls /proc/irq/17" shows two subdirectories, both called eth0.
Fix it by using a unique name for skge's IRQ, based on the PCI address.
The naming from the example then looks like this:
$ grep skge /proc/interrupts
17: 169 IO-APIC-fasteoi skge@pci:0000:00:0a.0, eth0
irqbalance daemon will have to be taught to recognize "skge@" as an
Ethernet interrupt. This will be a one-liner addition in classify.c. I
will send a patch to irqbalance if this change is accepted.
