(That's how the current stuff works. One thread > calling out to each handler.) Yes, that's in mainline now. There's two bits required to use it which are (from the driver point of view) fairly orthogonal - one is to convert the interrupt controller to use the new stuff, the other is to make sure that all the drivers that are requesting the interrupts over to threaded IRQ handlers. genirq will require the threaded handlers once it's being used.
