Sorry, got confused, this patch changes it to return a value, and that value is
ignored in the existing functions (the ones I listed above), which would make the
usage of check_acked very inconsistent.

I think they should stay void, because they compute statistics, or print a warning
if we got a spurious interrupt (check_spurious). I'm not really sure what to do
about check_acked at the moment, I'll think about it some more.

My suggestion was a quick hack to give an idea of how it might look, it can
definitely be improved :)
