Oh, yeah, I get that.

I did this based on visual inspection of the two files,
arch/m68k/include/asm/hardirq_mm.h and
include/asm-generic/hardirq.h.

They are almost the same (the irq_cpustat_t definition is identical).
Outside of a superfluous definition of ack_bad_irq the only difference
is the include of linux/irq.h. Is this enough to cause problems?

Indeed :-)
