Sure, let's go with that name then.

But shall we really go down the path with separate exported functions?
I think we discussed that earlier. Why I'm asking is that this adds
extra complexity - function prototypes in header files,
EXPORT_SYMBOL() stuff and more lines of code needed for each driver
instance.

Isn't it enough to add a kconfig option for CONFIG_UIO_PDRV_USER_IRQ
which depends on CONFIG_SUPERH (if we really want that) and wrap the
code in CONFIG_UIO_PDRV_USER_IRQ?

Let me know what you want and I'll respin the patch. Thanks!
