genirq: Create irq_data
Low level chip functions need access to irq_desc->handler_data, irq_desc->chip_data and irq_desc->msi_desc. We hand down the irq number to the low level functions, so they need to lookup irq_desc. With sparse irq this means a radix tree lookup. We could hand down irq_desc itself, but low level chip functions have no need to fiddle with it directly and we want to restrict access to irq_desc further. Preparatory patch for new chip functions. Note, that the ugly anon union/struct is there to avoid a full tree wide clean up for now. This is not going to last 3 years like __do_IRQ() Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> LKML-Reference: <20100927121841.645542300@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: H.
