init_irq called, but does nothing.

This is what's supposed to happen: init_irq initialized the queues.

Two bugs:
- why doesn't init_irq initialize the queues for the siimage controller? 
I found a difference between 2.5.67 and 68: init_irq always returns 0, 
even on error. It should return 1 on error. (It wasn't difficult to 
find, I introduced it :-(
- The error handling is bad. Probably drive->present should be forced to 
0, if the queues could not be initialized.

Could you try the attached patch? It fixes the return code and adds some 
additional printks.
