One thing which can be done right now is to use the proper existing
accessors irq_to_desc(), irq_set/clear_status_flags().

The remaining fixes depend on the yet to be merged queue. I will do
the namespace cleanup with cocinelle after rc1 as this is purely
mechanical. The other few things which will be left need manual
attendance, I will post either patches or a TODO list.
