From: william.waddington@beezmo.com

Ease out-of-tree driver migration to new irq_handler prototype.
Define empty 3rd argument macro for use in multi kernel version
out-of-tree drivers going forward. Backportable drives can do:

(in a header)
#ifndef __PT_REGS
# define __PT_REGS , struct pt_regs *regs
#endif

(in code body)
static irqreturn_t irq_handler(int irq, void *dev_id __PT_REGS)

Has this suggestion by Ingo Molnar been implemented? May I
submit it? Is this how it's done?
