Hi Marc
I'm about to send out a new revision of the ls-extirq patchset, and
thanks to you pointing me to these patches, I've read the comments on
the various revisions of this series and tried to take those into
account. But the above confused me, because in response to my first RFC
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10102643/) we have

Personally, I'd actually prefer the simpler interrupt specifiers without
a redundant 0. Maybe I'm just missing some difference between this case
and the ls-extirq one?
Thanks,
