Thomas applied 792ea6a074ae ("genirq: Remove WARN_ON_ONCE() in
generic_handle_domain_irq()") tonight:

http://git.kernel.org/tip/tip/c/792ea6a074ae

That allows me to drop the controversial __irq_enter_raw().

Jakub, do you want me to resend the full series (all 7 patches)
or should I send only patch [5/7] in-reply-to this one here?
Or do you prefer applying all patches except [5/7] and have me
resend that single patch?

Let me know what your preferred modus operandi is.

Thanks,

Lukas
