I don't know this code so I asked Ben and he said something like
"PowerMacs never use BOTH, so it hasn't mattered, but Freescale machines
might".

So if you want to send a proper signed-off patch, and confirm that all
the callers can handle the error properly, then we can merge it.

cheers

IIRC, the mpic in freescale MPICs the interrupts are either low or high,
so not both. There's a bit which controls the interrupt polarity which
selects if the interrupt triggers on high-to-low or low-to-high.
So i guess it doesn't matter on freescale machines too.
