Correct me if I'm wrong, but the above patch, however good and correct in 
principle, breaks all existing drivers, that currently use 
request_threaded_irq() in this "bogus" way, namely, with NULL handler and 
without the IRQF_ONESHOT flag? Of those drivers I counted 73 in today's 
Linus' tree with a total of 92 call occurrences. Isn't this a bit too 
brutal? How about either doing it more gently (first just issue a warning) 
or first fixing them all? The current approach seems to just cause a bunch 
of regressions to me? I can provide a list of affected files, if someone 
volunteers to fix them all;-)

Thanks
Guennadi
