Subject: Moving per-arch IRQ handling code into common directories


Hi Folks,
Inside each arch-specific kernel/irq.c, there's a comment something like,
/* (mostly architecture independent, will move to kernel/irq.c in 2.5.) */

This obviously hasn't happened, even though there was a patch by
Andrey Panin floating about around a year ago. Is there some
fundamental objection to consolidating the IRQ handling as far as
possible, or was it just that the patch didn't get high enough profile?
