Gendev is the "fast filesystem disk driver" of ISC (maybe it stands for
"generic device").
I think, interrupt request 5 is only used, if you have a SCSI controller.
If you dont, you should reconfigure the high performance disk driver
using kconfig. After that proceduere you can use IRQ 5 for another device.

Hope this helps, Stefan
