I assume this would need to be merged along with the rest of the
series, which should probably go through the PCI tree, but I'm
definitely not qualified to review this IRQ patch. And it would need
an ack from Thomas in any case.

A v2 of this patch has already been merged through the tip tree on June 24,
it's in linux-next as commit 519cc8652b3a, and ISTR that I marked this patch
either as "Obsoleted" or "Not Applicable" in pci-patchwork. There was no
build-dependency of the succeeding patches in the series on this patch,
hence merging through a different tree was possible.
Thanks!

Perfect, thanks!

Great! Do I need to make sure the tip tree is merged before the PCI
tree during the merge window?

In theory the tip tree would have to be merged beforehand, but in practice
the odds are extremely low that someone with an affected machine (primarily
a Mac introduced 2011/2012) happens to unplug a PCI device during a bisect
while running a kernel which has the pci tree merged but not the tip tree.
So I wouldn't worry about it.
Thanks,
Lukas
