The more I think about it, the more I like this proposal. I mean, irq
subsystem has IRQ_NONE also for a reason. And we do not have that many
alert handlers to convert. They could all return EBUSY by default
because that is what they currently behave like anyhow. That being said,
it will not be a top priority on my list.
