I'll take this into account. Is this blocker for this patch now?

Issue fixed by this patch is not related to IRQF_SHARED. 
It will happen on -RT or if kernel will boot with "threadirqs" cmd line parameter
- in both cases these PCI IRQ handlers will be forced to be threaded and,
as result, generic_handle_irq() will produce above backtrace.

Personally, I don't have strong opinion about "should similar change be applied
to other PCI drivers or not?" And I think, that owners of those driver should
make such decision.
