I pretty much expected that you would say that :)

But seriously, the first important thing is to find all functions and
to check whether they use irq internaly. Jiang has done that
'manually' or such, so the number of function which need an actual
change are not that big.

But I certainly don't want to hold you off thinking about it. Such
stuff is not a unique problem :)
