Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/7] genirq: Provide generic_handle_irq_safe().

Hi Sebastian,

This is the same desc as for generic_handle_irq(). I suggest to add
something like "from any context" to have some distinction.

I think "with care" is not obvious enough. Can you describe it a little?

Thanks for this work,

   Wolfram
