So if sparc32 converts to genirq we have a stronger case for saying: "Convert, else ..." [ where the three dots stands for something not nice. ] Sparc32 on the other hand had a clean IRQ layer long before x86 found its desire for a clean genirq layer - so genirq is a nuisance for Sparc32 at best and it deserves none of the not nice actions. What i am hoping for is that perhaps the Sparc unification changed that equation.
