You have to be careful though. If you make the accumulated counter 64
bit wide then you need to be careful vs. 32bit machines.

I mostly have it. Still chewing on the 32bit vs. 64bit thing. And
keeping it in my series allows me to remove the export of irq_to_desc()
at the end without waiting for your tree to be merged.

Give me a few.
