We wanted to prevent users from setting IRQF_SHARED in their platform
code, because uio_pdrv_genirq.c explicitly relies on an interrupt not
being shared. This code explicitly checks for IRQF_SHARED and lets
uio_pdrv_genirq_probe() fail if it's set. This allows users to set other
IRQF_* flags. That's an improvement and looks alright to me.
