This series contains 2 small code cleanups that are leftovers from the
MIPS support. There is also a small fix that adds proper locking to the
code accessing the IRQ registers. Without this fix we saw deadlocks caused
by the last patch of the series, which adds IRQ grouping. The grouping
feature allows us to use different IRQs for TX and RX. By doing so we can
use affinity to let the SoC handle the IRQs on different cores.

This patch series doesn't apply cleanly to the net-next tree, I get rejects
on patch #4.

it depends on the series with the 11 fixes that i sent last week which
is however in the net tree and not the next tree (i also still had the
DQL hack in my tree). if i resend this at the start of the next rc1
would you merge it into the net tree so that it becomes part of v4.8 ?

Well, it would rather require a merge of -net into -net-next then. But
that would be useful indeed.

Cheers,
Daniel
