I agree that bindings should go first. My point is core bindings are 
already approved and merged and just wanted to check if core driver 
changes can be merged without glue blocking them. Core driver changes 
have nothing to do with interrupt handling in glue. If we get the core 
changes merged separately after fixing the nits mentioned, we can take 
up this interrupt handling in glue in parallel. I am just trying to see 
if we can start merging independent portions of code. I agree that my 
glue driver changes are still not upto mark. But that has nothing to do 
with core driver changes.

Please let me know if that is appropriate because I think functionality 
intended by changes in core is independent of glue driver and glue 
bindings. If anything glue is partially dependent on core changes (like 
the MAX_PORTS macro etc., but not the other way around).
