Subject: [patch 2.6.26-git] genirq:  better warning on irqchip->set_type() failure

From: David Brownell <dbrownell@...rs.sourceforge.net>

While I'm glad to finally see the hole fixed whereby passing an
invalid IRQ trigger type to request_irq() would be ignored, the
current diagnostic isn't quite useful.  Fixed by also listing
the trigger type which was rejected.
