[PATCH] irq: remove obsolete definitions in interrupt.h

[PATCH] irq: remove obsolete definitions in interrupt.h

[Sam Ravnborg]

interrupt.h contained a small fixlet for the days when
m68k and sparc32 did not use genirq.
As they have both entered the modern world this
fixlet can be dropped.

You forgot that there is still an esoteric architecture which has
CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS=n.

So at least the exit_irq_thread() needs to stay.

The request_threaded_irq() one should not be used by any S390
driver. If it's used, they have probably a special opcode for it. :)

You forgot that there is still an esoteric architecture which has
CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS=n.

So at least the exit_irq_thread() needs to stay.

The request_threaded_irq() one should not be used by any S390
driver. If it's used, they have probably a special opcode for it. :)

Yup.

My grepping turn up no s390 users of this. But I may have missed it.

Anyway - take this as a reminder that there is an opportunity
to clean up after m68k + sparc32 got converted.
