Right, just saw your patch fly by.  Given mine's been taken up by gregkh
already I was kinda hoping someone further up the tree would end up
fixing it.  If not I can of course rebase and resend.

Eh, I like to be explicit.

Indeed, I quite like your patch.  I spend a fair bit of time on the
AVRFreaks AVR32 support community and I can see a great need for what
you've done.  That said, if HJK/ GregKH don't object I think I'll leave
mine pretty much as-is; having a device-specific ISR in platform code
just doesn't quite sit smooth with me :-)

Thanks!
