The problem with this approach is that it requires the resend path to be
cooperative and actually check for more than the top-level irq_data.
Otherwise you'd never actually trigger the HW resend if it is below
the top level.

But I like the idea though. Something like this should do the trick, and
is admittedly a bug fix:

diff --git a/kernel/irq/resend.c b/kernel/irq/resend.c

  	/* If the retrigger was successfull, mark it with the REPLAY bit */

In general, introducing a irq_chip_retrigger_hierarchy() call
shouldn't be problematic as long as we don't overwrite an existing
callback.

I'll have a look at respining the series with that in mind.

Thanks,

         M.
