Well, you cant use the pre_install/post_install hooks the drm_irq code
provides, but yes, just do the request_irq in your driver code at the
right time, with the right parameters. Much easier than adding code to a
part of the drm core fraught with backwards-compat stuff no one really
wants to touch ... All the additional stuff besides calling request_irq
and the driver hooks that drm_irq_install does is really just to support
old dri1 userspace.

Yours, Daniel
