Unless you're actually implementing an interrupt controller those APIs should never be called and people should be using flags on request_irq() or similar. Driver authors have been awfully fond of bypassing those APIs, but this prevents them doing so. None of this is really a practical issue unless you implement an IRQ controller in a driver and that's very rare (or has been up until now). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
