Thanks for putting me in the loop.

Indeed, I don't know what I tried to do in the first place but this is
completely wrong.
First because the last argument is not a valid flag as you pointed out,
then because I clearly have set irq_set_wake and thus setting
IRQCHIP_SKIP_SET_WAKE makes no sense.

I also realized I should directly pass handle_fasteoi_irq and not
handle_level_irq for the handler, that clr flags (IRQ_NOREQUEST |
IRQ_NOPROBE | IRQ_NOAUTOEN) are missing and that IRQ_GC_INIT_MASK_CACHE
is missing too.

I'll propose a patch fixing all those bugs.

Sorry for the inconvenience :-(.

Regards,

Boris
