Radeon RV100 init fails with specific card+mobo - IRQ problem

[Meelis Roos]

I have a test PC with AMD 760MPX chipset (Tyan S2466 Tiger MPX board) 
and Radeon RV100-based AGP card where radeon KMS modesetting does not 
work (does not work with any kernel tried so far (2.6.32, 3.2, 3.7, 
3.8-rc6).

Adding some printks reveals it calls
r100_init() -> radeon_irq_kms_init() -> drm_irq_install() -> 
drm_dev_to_irq() and that fails. So no IRQ, no KMS.

lspci does not show Interrupt like on some other PCI devices. 
/proc/interrupts obviously does not contain the irq since we do not 
register any yet.

There is no BIOS option of "Enable IRQ for VGA" or similar (BIOS is 
latest). Could this be the problem?

What can I do to get KMS working on this computer?
