Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/3] IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Date: Thu, 05 Oct 2006 20:52:40 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4525A8D8.9050504@garzik.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <18975.1160058127@warthog.cambridge.redhat.com>
The overwhelming majority of irq handlers don't use the 'irq' argument
either... the driver-supplied pointer is what drivers use, exclusively,
to differentiate between different instances.
If we are going to break all the irq handlers, I'd suggest going ahead
and removing that one too.
