Wow I hadn't noticed that {s removal. That is an old coding style
violation on alpha.  There was an intentional effect of not breaking
up { }'s.  But I hadn't realized I was also fixing whitespace.

Nice addition.

That is a reasonable simplification.

Nice.  I had not picked up on the or operator.

Very reasonable, especially on arches like alpha where none of the
sparse irq work has hit.

I didn't actually find any cases where that rule hit on arch/x86
so I did not include it, but it makes sense.

My paranoid sense says this rule should be:
@ @
expresion IRQ_EXPR;
struct irq_desc *DESC;
struct irq_chip *CHIP;
identifier METHOD;
@@
(
 	DESC->chip->METHOD(
-			   IRQ_EXPR
+			   irq_to_desc(IRQ_EXPR)
			   , ... )
|
	CHIP->METHOD(
-		     IRQ_EXPR
+		     irq_to_desc(IRQ_EXPR)
		     , ... )

If this is before my irq_to_desc removal rule.  We should not
see any new irq_to_desc calls popping up.
