[RFC PATCH v1 1/9] genirq: Allow shared interrupt users to opt into IRQ_NOAUTOEN

[Paul Burton <paul.burton@imgtec.com>]

Shared interrupts which aren't automatically enabled during setup (ie.
which have the IRQ_NOAUTOEN flag set) can be problematic if one or more
users of the shared interrupt aren't expecting the IRQ_NOAUTOEN
behaviour. This led to a warning being added when a combination of
IRQ_NOAUTOEN & IRQF_SHARED are used by commit 04c848d39879 ("genirq:
Warn when IRQ_NOAUTOEN is used with shared interrupts").

There are however legitimate cases where a shared interrupt which isn't
automatically enabled may make sense. One such case is shared percpu
interrupts, which we don't currently support but will with subsequent
patches. For percpu interrupts the IRQ_NOAUTOEN flag is automatically
set by irq_set_percpu_devid_flags() because it would be inconsistent to
automatically enable the interrupt on the CPU that calls
setup_percpu_irq() but not on others, and anything else would at best be
an expensive operation with few legitimate uses. The use of IRQ_NOAUTOEN
means that percpu interrupts cannot currently be shared without running
into the warning that commit 04c848d39879 ("genirq: Warn when
IRQ_NOAUTOEN is used with shared interrupts") introduced.

This patch allows for the future possibility of shared interrupts that
are not automatically enabled, by introducing an IRQF_NOAUTOEN flag
which users of a shared interrupt can set to state that they are
prepared for the IRQ_NOAUTOEN behaviour. We then require that all
actions associated with the shared interrupt share the same value for
the IRQF_NOAUTOEN flag, and that if IRQ_NOAUTOEN is set before any
actions with IRQF_SHARED are associated with the interrupt then any
actions without the IRQF_NOAUTOEN flag set are rejected, with
__setup_irq() returning -EINVAL.

In some ways this means that we go further than commit 04c848d39879
("genirq: Warn when IRQ_NOAUTOEN is used with shared interrupts") did,
in that any existing users of shared interrupts with IRQ_NOAUTOEN won't
only trigger a warning but will fail to setup their interrupt handler
entirely. In others this leaves us with an out for legitimate users
which will be able to opt-in to the IRQ_NOAUTOEN behaviour by setting
IRQF_NOAUTOEN.
