What's wrong with making print_irq boolean?

The condition is wrong. Look how the old code evaluated any_count.

Aside of that this code is just fundamentally wrong in several aspects:

  1) Interrupts which have no action are completely uninteresting as
     there is no real information attached, i.e. it shows that there
     were interrupts on some CPUs, but there is zero information from
     which device they originated.

     Especially with sparse interrupts enabled they are usually gone
     shortly after the last action was removed.

  2) Chained interrupts do not have a count at all as they completely
     evade the core kernel entry points.

So all of this can be avoided and the whole nonsense can be reduced to:

	if (!desc->action || irq_desc_is_chained(desc) || !desc->kstat_irqs)
        	goto outsparse;

which in turn allows to convert this:

> -	for_each_online_cpu(j)
> -		seq_printf(p, "%10u ", desc->kstat_irqs ?
> -					*per_cpu_ptr(desc->kstat_irqs, j) : 0);

into an unconditional:

	for_each_online_cpu(j)
		seq_printf(p, "%10u ", *per_cpu_ptr(desc->kstat_irqs, j));

Thanks,
