Right, this one is meant for stable to fix the issue with the potentially
lost interrupts. Based on it I will submit a patch for net-next that
tackles the issue that did_interrupt() has to read (and therefore clear)
irq status bits and therefore makes them unusable for handle_interrupt().
The basic idea is that did_interrupt() is called only if handle_interrupt()
isn't implemented. handle_interrupt() has to include the did_interrupt
functionality. It can read the irq status once and store it in a variable
for later use.
