This can be simplified by shifting irq_pending instead of irq_bit:

   do {
           if (irq_pending & 1)
                   generic_handle_irq(irq_num);

           ++irq_num;
           irq_pending >>= 1;
   } while (irq_pending);

Unfortunately m68k doesn't have a single-instruction __ffs().

The 68000 and 68010 don't, but couldn't the 68020's BFFFO do the job?

I looked at the code generated by gcc for __builtin_ffs(), and while
it did use BFFFO, it needs several other instructions.

The same can be seen in arch/m68k/include/asm/bitops.h:

    static inline int ffs(int x)
    {
            int cnt;

            __asm__ ("bfffo %1{#0:#0},%0"
                    : "=d" (cnt)
                    : "dm" (x & -x));
            return 32 - cnt;
    }
