Subject: [RFC][PATCH] genirq: support multiple interrupt priorities
This is a simple patch for adding trivial interrupt priority support.
I've added a ->set_prio() to the irq_chip which is implemented
effectively the same way as ->set_type(), it's an optional component for
those that really care about it.
This follows the rationale that PICs that do support multiple priorities
are going to support a fairly wide range, which is not something that can
easily be represented generically. Given that, the only IRQF_PRIO_* flags
that are introduced are for generic priorities that we assume all
priority-capable PICs can support -- namely, high, low, and default (or
none). In addition to this there is also a set_irq_prio() modelled after
set_irq_type() which platform-specific code can set to more specific
values that aren't suitable for generic abstraction.
My primary use case for this is for making sure we have high priorities
where we want them in the platform code, especially chained handlers,
timers, things of that nature. Going the genirq route is certainly much
cleaner than trying to hack up my own arch-specific API for this. I
imagine other people will have similar use cases for this.
Comments? Flames?
