FYI, these two commits:

c0691143dfe (mn10300: Fix include dependency in irqflags.h et al.)
f75773103d2 ([IA64] Fix include dependency in asm/irqflags.h)

... seem to fix all known breakage related to this issue.  So, the patch 
(to convert back to a macro) may not be necessary.

Sorry to create all this late -rc churn,
David Daney
