Well it actually converts menelaus_ack_irq() too, but that's not the
point I was making.

I can see that the 'code' is different, but the functionality of the
patch is the same i.e. converting functions to pass around the
menelaus_chip pointer for eradication of the_menelaus global pointer.

I'm not concerned about the 'lines changed' count. The change your
making is trivial, thus there is no requirement to split unnecessarily
over 5 patches. Please squash them into a single functionality patch.
