Hi Quentin, sorry for delays!

Patch applied, it's such a pretty and straight-forward patch.
Also IRQ is probably very nice to have, so let's get this in and
supported.

Please consider addressing the following in follow-up patch(es):

Can't you just move the function above so you don't have to forward-declare
this?

As you see the latter part of the define is "IF_HANDLED".

Is it really neccessary to have two irqchips?

Is this to separate ACK and EOI because the EOI version
doesn't survive an ACK?
