Yes. The GPIO based stuff is the prime example but there's other
examples - one is the WM831x touchscreen (no driver in mainline yet)
which can use interrupts via the main interrupt controller on the CPU
but also has the option of bringing the interrupt signals out to
dedicated pins on the chip for direct connection to the CPU precisely to
avoid the overheads of these slow interrupt controllers.
