Just wanted to quickly say that I'm good with your interrupt rework
patches. I did only one squash as you can see:

https://github.com/jsakkine/linux-tpmdd/commits/master

For the other changes your arguments how patches should be separated in
this rework made perfect sense after a few re-reads.

I can accept them once I've tested them but in order to test them we
have to get these patches reviewed first as soon as possible.
