Changing the interrupt type for all interrupts is just wrong.  For on-chip
peripherals, you generally want to use level based interrupts as they're
the most efficient and simplest way to signal interrupts.

It should be a per-interrupt thing, and we already have that through
request_irq() etc.  Other platforms manage this just fine without having
to have special configuration like this.
