[patch 1/7] Add IRQF_IRQPOLL_IRQ flag (common code)

[Bernhard Walle <bwalle@suse.de>]

[-- Attachment #1: IRQF_IRQPOLL_IRQ --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2761 bytes --]

This patch adds a IRQF_IRQPOLL_IRQ flag that the interrupt registration code
could use for the interrupt it wants to use for IRQ polling.

Because this must not be the timer interrupt, an additional flag was added
instead of re-using the IRQF_TIMER constant. Until all architectures will have
an IRQF_IRQPOLL_IRQ interrupt, irq == 0 will stay as alternative as it should
not break anything.

Also, note_interrupt() is called on CPU-specific interrupts to be used as
interrupt source for IRQ polling.
