How do you propose we do that? You have an OR gate between two device,
and the result of that gate is directly plugged in the interrupt controller.

The only thing the genirq subsystem can do is take the interrupt. If
nobody cares, the whole interrupt *line* will eventually get disabled.

Doing a free_irq() in that case is fine, as long as the rate of spurious
interrupts is low.

It *is* sufficient for shared IRQs. Actually, it is the only way to
sanely implement shared IRQs (you must gate the interrupt upstream of
the summing interrupt controller). Buggy HW is another story (and that's
probably the case here).

Now: can we please get this patch merged? ;-)
