I think this is the bit I don't follow why does this patch have anything to do with whether b) and c) are mutually-exclusive options? This patch lets you register an IRQ handler to the in-band IRQs, it has nothing to do with whether you register an IRQ handler to some out of band IRQ and there is nothing in the current framework that will prevent someone doing that. Adding a check that forces someone to choose between using handle_nested_irq or interrupt_callback will also have no bearing on whether they attach an IRQ handler to an out-of-band IRQ.
