I just sent an email about how handling them :)
If the shared interrupts are only related to old hardware, these ones
shouldn't have cpuidle, hence there is no need to enable the irq
timings. So you are right in this case and we can keep the feature simple.
On a other hand, Peter sent three examples of /proc/interrupts with
shared interrupts. I don't know how old are the platforms and what are
they, but it seems the shared irq are still used.
At this point I have two contradictory information.
For the best of my knowledge, I am inclined to agree with you.
Peter can you give your opinion ?
