In all honesty, I'd be more inclined to remove this debug feature
altogether, as CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_DEBUGFS is more complete and more
useful. Is there any feature missing from that infrastructure that
prevents you from using it instead?

If the answer is "none", then I'll post a patch removing it.

Thanks,

	M.
