s390 just gained "NO_IRQ support" in -next, in commit
e15a9dcfdec29786d1830c5b7beaf02a288a89e1 ("s390: convert interrupt
handling to use generic hardirq"):

/* This number is used when no interrupt has been assigned */
#define NO_IRQ         0

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
