Hmm, I'd completely forgotten about that approach. Whilst it certainly looks
cleaner from a user perspective, I always get scared when I see
'desc->status_use_accessors' since it tends to incur the wrath of tglx :)
That said, I guess that should be fine in irqdesc.h (basically adding a new
accessor). Chris went missing after sending those initial patches, so
perhaps Vinayak could look at resurrecting those?
