Hi Anisse
This also fixes backlight keys on my Asus poulsbo laptop.
An ASLE IRQ is triggered by the BIOS when writing to a PCI config register. Some
BIOSes might trigger a pipe event at the same time but they obviously don't have
to (and I don't think they should). I'm not sure it needs to be in
psb_vdc_interrupt() but we might as well leave it there for now.
I'll apply this to git://github.com/patjak/drm-gma500 gma500-fixes
Thanks
Patrik
