It is necessary to disable IRQs from the current

Gar... I think I was just totally wrong on this. I think your
original code was fine. Sorry Eduardo and Greg.
This is a threaded IRQ so the regular spin_lock is fine or even the
mutex would have been.
In fact it is. But I rather prefer to use spinlocks there, just to keep
the irq handler sane, even if it is moved to non-threaded IRQ.
IRQ_ONESHOT is about triggering a second IRQ before the first one
has been finished, btw.
It is, and that gets done by masking the IRQ at INTC level.
I am an idiot.
Not really. Thanks for your time reviewing the driver.
I will resend this series. Drop this one and split patch 4/8 into two
I think (one for moving files, one for renaming functions)
