[RFC] add a WARN in setup_irq function for the IRQF_DISABLED flag

[Daniel Lezcano]

Hi,

we are still seeing drivers with the irq flag IRQF_DISABLED present and
*new* drivers submitted with this flag set.

I am wondering if we can add a WARN in the setup_irq function about this
flag. May be it is a bit rough but people will pay attention.

Thanks
