And what about the patch, not judging my comments about irq0 in general?

AFAICT the check in try_misrouted_irq for irq being not zero does only
make sense on x86, doesn't it?

The comment a few lines above the check reads:

	But for 'irqfixup == 2' we also do it for handled interrupts if
	they are marked as IRQF_IRQPOLL (or for irq zero, which is the
	traditional PC timer interrupt.. Legacy)

So I think the patch is justified.

Best regards
Uwe
