[PATCH 09/17] [m68k] IRQ: add handle_polled_irq() for timer based soft interrupts -
        experimental hack to avoid unhandled interrupt timer to fire
        on EtherNEC/NetUSBee cards that have no hardware interrupt
        and need to be polled from a timer

This patch adds a special 'polled interrupt' handler for timer based software interrupts.

Adding Thomas and lkml.

No comments/suggestions?
Thanks again!

handle_simple_irq() will respond to excessive unhandled interrupts (as are expected for a
polling timer interrupt) by disabling the apparently unhandled interrupt source.

handle_polled_irq() prevents this by setting the IRQS_POLL_INPROGRESS flag which will cause
the unhandled interrupt events to be ignored.

This is a temporary hack to allow timer based polling of the Atari ROM port network and USB
cards only. Suggestions on how to properly handle this in the normal interrupt framework are
most welcome.
