So I actually implemented this, and did hit another snag: per cpu interrupts.
They don't use the startup/shutdown methods, and reproducing the above logic
on a per-cpu basis is not very pretty.

In order to make some progress, I went on a slightly different path, which
is to use enable/disable instead of startup/shutdown. As far as I can see,
the only thing we loose by doing so is the lazy disable, but the code
becomes very straightforward (see below). I gave it a go on an ARMv7 box,
and it even survived.

Thoughts?

Subject: [PATCH] genirq: Add support for priority-drop/deactivate interrupt
 controllers

Moderately recent ARM interrupt controllers can use a "split mode" EOI,
where instead of just using a single write to notify the controller of
the end of interrupt, uses the following:
- priority-drop: the interrupt is still active, but other interrupts can
  now be taken (basically the equivalent of a mask)
- deactivate: the interrupt is not active anymore, and can be taken again
  (equivalent to unmask+eoi).

This makes it very useful for threaded interrupts, as it avoids the usual
mask/unmask dance (and has the potential of being more efficient on ARM,
as it is using the CPU interface instead of the global distributor).

This patch implements a couple of new interrupt flows:
- handle_spliteoi_irq: this is the direct equivalent of handle_fasteoi_irq,
- handle_spliteoi_percpu_devid_irq: equivalent to handle_percpu_devid_irq.

It is expected that irqchip using these flows will implement something like:

	.irq_enable		= irqchip_unmask_irq,
	.irq_disable		= irqchip_mask_irq,
	.irq_mask		= irqchip_priority_drop_irq,
	.irq_unmask    		= irqchip_deactivate_irq,
