If a device wants to register its interrupt it may call request_irq() that then calls setup_irq(). Now since SA_PERCPU_IRQ is not set by the device setup_irq() does not initialize desc->handler. Can that be fixed by adding SA_PERCPU_IRQ to irqflags in request_irq() or does that introduce problems at another place? Christian
