Well, not sure about that. During init on a platform which does not have
the issues with reservation mode there failure cases are:

 1) Interrupt does not exist. Definitely a full fail

 2) Interrupt is already started up. Not a good idea on init() and
    a clear fail.

 3) Interrupt has already been switched to managed. Double init is not
    really a good sign either.

Duh yes.

More duh :)

I assume you send a fixed variant of this.

Thanks,
