[PATCH] uio: User IRQ Mode V2

[Magnus Damm]

This is V2 of the UIO "User IRQ Mode" patch.

In User IRQ Mode the kernel space interrupt handler simply disables
the serviced interrupt in the interrupt controller and makes the
user space driver responsible for acknowledging the interrupt in
the device and reenabling the interrupt in the interrupt controller.

Shared interrupts are not supported by the User IRQ Mode since the
generic in-kernel interrupt handler will disable the shared interrupt
in the interrupt controller, and in a shared interrupt configuration
this will stop other devices from delivering interrupts.

 Changes since V1
  - use disable_irq_nosync() in interrupt handler, thanks Alan!

 Changes since Uwe's last version:
  - flags should be unsigned long
  - simplify uio_userirq_handler()

 Similar code has been posted some time ago as:
 "[PATCH] uio_pdrv: Unique IRQ Mode"
 "[PATCH 00/03][RFC] Reusable UIO Platform Driver".

 Needs "[PATCH 0/1] UIO: Add a write() function to enable/disable interrupts"
