This is based on Michal Schmidt fix for skge.

Most network drivers request their IRQ when the interface is activated.
sky2 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 sky2
   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

The fix is for sky2 to name the irq based on the pci device, as is done
by some other devices DRM, infiniband, ...  ie. sky2@pci:0000:00:00

One other note, the issue is less of a problem for most usage of sky2
because the drive is used mostly on systems that support MSI interrupts
which can never be shared.
