Linus, please do a

        bk pull bk://kernel.bkbits.net/jgarzik/irq-return-2.5

This will update the following files:

 include/linux/interrupt.h | 2 +-
 1 files changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)

through these ChangeSets:

<jgarzik@redhat.com> (03/04/25 1.1252)
   s/int/unsigned int/ for irqreturn_t definition.
   
   Pragmatic change. Would prefer to make it now rather than later.
   Though sign-extension problems are unlikely, I prefer 'unsigned int'
   because it occasionally generates better code, and 'int' occasionally
   generates sub-optimal code (because the compiler cannot rule out
   negative values during optimization).
   
   Better still would be to indicate the variable's true range
   via _Bool: zero, and non-zero, but I did not make that change
   here.
