Let's take care of SCI first. Is this OK? Would you include IRQ_TYPE_NONE below?

get_penalty
{
...
	if (irq == acpi_gbl_FADT.sci_interrupt) {
		if (irq_get_trigger_type(irq) == IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW)
			penalty += PIRQ_PENALTY_PCI_USING;
		else
			penalty += PIRQ_PENALTY_ISA_ALWAYS;
	}
}


Yes, I read your email and asked how you would deal with ARM64. There was
silence after that :) ARM64 doesn't have SCI and the PCI interrupts are
active high and level.

I pasted the code here again. It looks like you want to validate that
PCI interrupts are always level low. 

There could be also some other existing Intel platform or architecture 
that quite doesn't encode the interrupt properly.

 
   static int pci_compatible_trigger(int irq)
   {
     int type = irq_get_trigger_type(irq);

     return (type == IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW || type == IRQ_TYPE_NONE);
   }


   static unsigned int acpi_irq_get_penalty(int irq)
   {
     unsigned int penalty = 0;

     if (irq == acpi_gbl_FADT.sci_interrupt)
       	penalty += PIRQ_PENALTY_PCI_USING;

     penalty += acpi_irq_pci_sharing_penalty(irq);
     return penalty;
   }

   static int acpi_pci_link_allocate(struct acpi_pci_link *link)
   {
     unsigned int best = ~0;
     ...

     for (i = (link->irq.possible_count - 1); i >= 0; i--) {
       candidate = link->irq.possible[i];
       if (!pci_compatible_trigger(candidate))
         continue;

       penalty = acpi_irq_get_penalty(candidate);
       if (penalty < best) {
       	    irq = candidate;
            best = penalty;
       }
     }
   }
