I think we can zap them all. But since I'm not yet sure how the new solution, based on irq work,
is going to be received, do you mind if we just wait for the new solution to be acked by Peterz?

If that's ok for you, I'll then do a pull request that includes the solution and zaps the old two
commits.

Thanks!
