Well, that's why it's not in irqchip/core yet. ;-)  It can be undone if
needed.

If Suravee is ok with it, I can drop them for now and he can resend for
v3.18.  Since we've worked out a way to merge it all in one window, I
don't think it would hurt anything to wait.

I'll leave these in irqchip/for-next until I hear from Suravee, then
I'll drop the lot till we hear from Marc and look at the timing.

thx,

Jason.
