Subject: [GIT PULL] lefover IRQ fixes from v3.12

Linus,

Please pull the latest irq-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git irq-urgent-for-linus

   # HEAD: bbfe65c219c638e19f1da5adab1005b2d68ca810 genirq: Set the irq thread policy without checking CAP_SYS_NICE

Two (minor) fixlets that missed v3.12.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
