| Ingo,
| 
| here is what I meant. The x86_quirk_pre_intr_init
| and x86_quirk_intr_init do all we need. The only
| paid off -- is that on x86-64 the functions
| will check for x86_quirks->arch_intr_init and
| x86_quirks->arch_pre_intr_init which are always
| NULL for x86-64 (at least for now). If that is
| acceptable -- then apply the patch below for
| testing please. Othrewise we could eliminate
| useless check by #ifdef (which would not be
| that much differ from what I've posted initially
| in patch series :)

| x86: irqinit - merge native_init_IRQ
|

Ingo,

here are the reasons I found to vote for _this_ implementation
(ie using x86_quirk_intr_init and x86_quirk_pre_intr_init
 for both x86-32 and x86-64 platforms instead of direct function
 pointers)

1) Both are called on x86-32 as a former.
2) For x86-32 among the init_ISA_irqs call
   the quirk itself is needed (VISWS code)
