Daniel - you should be aware that the -mm genirq lineup does _not_
include the ARM bits. Those changes go via the normal ARM QA and merge
path, i.e. via rmk. The -mm lineup only includes the generic bits (for
type-based platforms). In any case, they dont impact upstream genirq
merging plans.

(The omap thing in the armirq queue is likely some small thing. Thomas
is checking it.)
