That's odd. I just checked out next-20120924, and that (empty) file
does appear on my disk as expected. Do some versions of git not handle
creating empty files?

Note that IIRC the Kconfig file is required, because otherwise the
build process won't recurse into drivers/irqchip/ and hence code won't
be linked into the kernel image.

The file is empty because the Makefile there keys of
CONFIG_ARCH_BCM2835 and hence doesn't need drivers/irqchip/Kconfig to
define any new Kconfig variables.
