Thanks Rafael!

I'll try this tomorrow (we had problems with the HW today so I wasn't able
to do any testing).

I'll convert the SPI and I2C enumeration patches to use this method.

Good point.

I wonder if the acpi_register_gsi() wants a device that is registered to
the Linux device framework? At least with the SPI and I2C we generally
don't have such until we call i2c_new_device() or spi_add_device() and they
are getting passed the IRQ number which should be translated to the Linux
IRQ before that...
