[PATCH] Add sysfs support for the i8259 PIC on x86_64

[PATCH] Add sysfs support for the i8259 PIC on x86_64

[Eric W. Biederman]

I got to looking at x86_64 and while it occasionally uses the i8259 legacy
pic it is not put in sysfs.

Here is the appropriate code ported code from i386.

Hm, this doesn't apply at all.  Any chance of redoing it for 2.6.9-rc1?

thanks,
