mask_irq

mask_irq

[Matthew Wilcox]

I don't know when it happened, but mask_irq() is no longer required
as an interface.  The following architectures still define and/or use
it internally:

arm arm26 cris mips parisc ppc ppc64 sh sh64 x86_64

Arch maintainers may want to see if they can get rid of it.

to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince 
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep 
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain

I guess this is a result of a quick grep without looking at the
results.  I think you'll find that mask_irq() isn't an interface
ARM architectures export, but is part of a function name, eg,
dummy_mask_unmask_irq().

Same for MIPS but it deserved a little cleanup anyway which I just did.
