__do_IRQ() has been deprecated after a two years migration phase in commit 0e57aa1. Since then another 18 month have gone by. So here's the status three and a half years after the flow based infrastructure was merged: The following architectures are fully converted to the new flow handler code: arm, avr32, blackfin, frv, microblaze, mips, mn10300, powerpc, score, sh, sparc 64bit, tile, x86, xtensa (avr32 and xtensa should set CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS_NO__DO_IRQ though) The following architectures are not using the generic interrupt infrastructure at all and are therefor unaffected: s390, m68k, sparc 32bit The following architectures are still using __do_IRQ(): alpha, cris, ia64, h8300, m32r, m68knommu, parisc, um So now the question arises what to do with __do_IRQ(). Removing it would be the right thing, but that'll break 8 archs, so it's probably not considered a good idea, though for most of them the conversion should be reasonably trivial. I'm happy to move that code into kernel/irq/cruft.c forever if there is no way to get the remaining users converted in the forseeable future. It looks like they can cope with the annoying build warning nicely. Either that or moving everything what breaks into staging/arch/* and hand it over to GregKH :) Thoughts ?
