IRQF_DISABLED problem

[Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx>]

I noticed that we only look at the first action in the chain when
determining whether to re-enable local interrupts during handle_IRQ_event.
But we don't try to exclude sharing interrupts with mixtures of
IRQF_DISABLED set and clear.  I just tried to do that locally, and one
of my USB ports disappears, because it shares an interrupt with qla2xxx
which sets IRQF_DISABLED, and UHCI doesn't.

Another possibility is to force it if *any* of the handlers want
IRQF_DISABLED.  This seems to work:

diff --git a/kernel/irq/manage.c b/kernel/irq/manage.c
index 203a518..d804a0b 100644

This patch makes interrupts requested with IRQF_DISABLED non-matching
fail, in case you think it's a better solution:
