This patch has been reverted again, due to 
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/127153/
(this also applies to the 2.6.32 backport)

commit 6cccccafe9e8b88adb1800940ded6ad76c587e1b

    Revert "rt2x00: handle spurious pci interrupts"
    
    This reverts commit 23085d5796561625db4143a671f1de081f66ef08.
    
    The original patch was a misguided attempt to improve performance on
    some hardware that is apparently prone to spurious interrupt generation.
