If you're changing the signature of the IRQ handler functions it'd be
nice to change them to irq_handler_t - that way it'll be much easier to
transition the driver to using genirq in future since it should end up
being possible to just stub out the Atlas-specific calls in the header
with calls to the standard IRQ functions when the core is transitioned,
reducing cross-tree issues.

This might create issues with a request_nounmask() function, though a
request plus mask is probably enough - I guess you're using this for
your the RTC driver in which case a spurious periodic interrupt is
unlikely to be an issue.
