It's difficult to say without seeing the patches...  The IRQ is stored
in the producer already with Eric's changes.  If you need to store the
old IRQ value, because "update" needs to do something with it, then I
think "irq" belongs in the container struct.

Perhaps "update" needs to have a producer argument as well?
