Okay, helpful.

Yes, so i *wonder* why not use regular a linked-list here if no need to do
arbitrary querying. I have no doubt the idea of these changes are sound,
just curious about the data structure used to maintain resend IRQs.

Sorry for the noise, I overlook some core changes.

I see, the IRQS_REPLAY and locking of irq_desc ensure that irq_sw_resend() is not called
on the same interrupt concurrently, thanks for pointing that out.
