Collaborate in which way? What are you collaborating on?

You are merely asking people to do work which you think is useful. You
can do that, but that does not make it useful.

Making a guard variant of chained_irq_enter/exit needs some thought and
a general plan for cleaning the whole chained irq usage up. It's on the
cleanup list already with quite some other items.

We are not adhoc adding a guard variant because guards are hip right
now. And no this does not need a scoped variant ever.

guards are not the panacea for everything.

Please refrain from these silly links. People know to find the functions
on their own.

Kevin, please update the change log, add your SOB and move the local
variables (unsigned long bit, status;) into the scoped_guard() zone.

Leave chained_irq_enter/exit() alone and resubmit.

Thanks,
