The code that got removed was

if (ret == IRQ_HANDLED)
   tasklet_schedule()

return ret;

The only thing that wouldn't have been executed if we had no
interrupts to report was the tasklet_schedule.

This has lightly changed though in the v2, thanks to your comments.

I don't have the | anymore, and call tasklet_schedule directly in the
loop.

I'll send the v2 in a short while.
