    IRQ_NOPROBE helper functions · 46f4f8f6

    Probing non-ISA interrupts using the handle_percpu_irq as their handle_irq
    method may crash the system because handle_percpu_irq does not check
    IRQ_WAITING.  This for example hits the MIPS Qemu configuration.
    
    This patch provides two helper functions set_irq_noprobe and set_irq_probe to
    set rsp.  clear the IRQ_NOPROBE flag.  The only current caller is MIPS code
    but this really belongs into generic code.
    
    As an aside, interrupt probing these days has become a mostly obsolete if not
    dangerous art.  I think Linux interrupts should be changed to default to
    non-probing but that's subject of this patch.
