genericirq.rst: add cross-reference links and use monospaced fonts

The document describes several functions that are documented
there via kernel doc macros. Add cross-references to them.

In order to be consistend with other documents, use monospaced
fonts for fields.

The original general IRQ implementation used hw_interrupt_type

structures and their ``->ack``, ``->end`` [etc.] callbacks to differentiate
the flow control in the super-handler. This leads to a mix of flow logic
and low-level hardware logic, and it also leads to unnecessary code
duplication: for example in i386, there is an ioapic_level_irq and an
