I am aware that it is *also* a bug in bge(4) -- it only requires the
deletion of #if 0 / #endif to fix -- but surely it is *also* a bug if
interrupts are being routed to the wrong devices.  There is plenty
of other interrupt-related misbehavior on amd64 machines and getting
to the bottom of this might help.

For what it's worth, I don't even know for sure that the MegaRAID-
generated interrupts are even getting routed to the amr driver in
all cases.  They may be going *only* to bge.
