No, this is where the argument is being _passed_.

Perhaps some context would help.

Looking at one of the other patches in the series it appears the flag
you're trying to capture is IORESOURCE_IRQ_LOWEDGE.  When I grep for
where this is being _used_ (think 'consumed, rather than passed.  I
only see a single entry in drivers/pnp/interface.c.

That's what got me thinking... are you sure you're a) making use of
this flag and b) assuming the answer to 'a' is "no" and if everyting's
working correctly in the code's current state, are you sure you need
them at all? 

I think to set an edge trigger on an IRQ, you should instead do so via
irq_set_irq_type(), or have a missed a line or two?
