IRQ_NOPROBE helper functions
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.
