Sorry for late reply because of vacation.

Actually, I have not thought that the kind of irq_flags are fixed
according to the category of specific h/w device. Until now, as I knew,
the h/w device have to initialize the the kind of irq_flags
for each peripheral device dependency. The each vendor of peripheral device
might design the kind of the kind of irq-flags for detection.

If possible, could you provide some example on mainline kernel?
