This patch adds a IRQF_IRQPOLL_IRQ flag that the interrupt registration code could use for the interrupt it wants to use for IRQ polling. Because this must not be the timer interrupt, an additional flag was added instead of re-using the IRQF_TIMER constant. Until all architectures will have an IRQF_IRQPOLL_IRQ interrupt, irq == 0 will stay as alternative as it should not break anything. Also, note_interrupt() is called on CPU-specific interrupts to be used as interrupt source for IRQ polling.
