So this is handle_fasteoi_irq with an irq_ack() added in the middle. In
the spirit of making this a bit more maintainable, how about making the
handle_fasteoi_irq code reusable (if necessary by forcing the compiler
to inline stuff)?

But the one thing that makes me uncomfortable here is that we're seem to
have this irq_ack() propagated all along the irqdata chain, which is not
what's happening. Only the EOI gets propagated.

Why can't you just put the irq_ack call in your top level irq_eoi
callback? That'd make it similar to what is happening on the mbigen side
(not exactly surprising, since they are doing very similar things).

Same remark about handle_fasteoi_level_irq.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
