Subject: [PATCH] IRQ: ease out-of-tree migration to new irq_handler prototype

From: william.waddington@...zmo.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?
