Subject: Re: irqdesc porting help

Hi,
   My drivers in 2.6.14 use statements like
             desc->triggered = 1;
   And desc also points to some members of irqdesc which arent in
2.6.19 but in 2.6.14.

   Im a newbie, What changes am i supposed to make to make it work in 2.6.19.
   Im not sure what changes are exactly needed.


  Please Advice,

  Regards,
   Jo
