Thomas,

Nice work, thanks for doing this.

It would be nice to still keep the name of the parameters here.
unsigned long flags, const char *name, void *dev

The above reads funny. How about something like:

@quick_check_handler: Function called before the real interrupt
handler. It checks if the interrupt originated
from the device. This can be NULL.
