Subject: [PATCH v2] genirq: Add support for nested shared IRQs

I am working on a system which has an audio CODEC and two speaker amps,
each of the speaker amps have an open-drain IRQ line which are connected
together and attached to a pin on the audio CODEC, which is capable of
functioning as an IRQ chip. The audio CODEC then in turn has its own IRQ
line which heads back to the host processor.

This setup necessitates having a shared nested IRQ on the audio CODEC.
Currently however the kernel does not appear to support shared nested
IRQs.

Fortunately support is fairly easy to add, only required the
modification of handle_nested_irq to call all the IRQ handlers, rather
than just the first one associated with the IRQ.

Changes since v1:
 - Improve commit messages
 - Use for_each_action_of_desc
 - Correct handling of note_interrupt

Thanks,
Charles
