Re: Fwd: [RFC] IRQ type flags

[Russell King]

Here's an updated patch, taking account of folks comments.  The changes
from the previous patch are:

* Move SA_TRIGGER into linux/signal.h
* Change SA_TRIGGER_* to match IORESOURCE_IRQ_* definitions
* Change ARM __IRQT_* definitions to match IORESOURCE_IRQ_* definitions
* Add a comment to explain the case where no SA_TRIGGER_* flags are
  passed to request_irq.

----
Some ARM platforms have the ability to program the interrupt controller to
detect various interrupt edges and/or levels.  For some platforms, this is
critical to setup correctly, particularly those which the setting is
dependent on the device.

Currently, ARM drivers do (eg) the following:

	err = request_irq(irq, ...);

	set_irq_type(irq, IRQT_RISING);

However, if the interrupt has previously been programmed to be level
sensitive (for whatever reason) then this will cause an interrupt storm.

Hence, if we combine set_irq_type() with request_irq(), we can then safely
set the type prior to unmasking the interrupt.  The unfortunate problem is
that in order to support this, these flags need to be visible outside of
the ARM architecture - drivers such as smc91x need these flags and they're
cross-architecture.

Finally, the SA_TRIGGER_* flag passed to request_irq() should reflect the
property that the device would like.  The IRQ controller code should do its
best to select the most appropriate supported mode.
