[RFC PATCH] genirq: implement read_irq_line for interrupt lines

[Abhijeet Dharmapurikar]

Some drivers need to know what the status of the interrupt line is.
This is especially true for drivers that register a handler with
IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING | IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING and in the handler they
need to know which edge transition it was invoked for.

The irq_read_line callback in the chip allows the controller to provide
the real time status of this line. Controllers that can read the status
of an interrupt line should implement this by doing necessary
hardware reads and return the logical state of the line.

Interrupt controllers based on the slow bus architecture should conduct
the transaction in this callback. The genirq code will call the chip's
bus lock prior to calling irq_read_line. Obviously since the transaction
would be completed before returning from irq_read_line it need not do
any transactions in the bus unlock call.

Drivers need to be aware whether the interrupt controller is a slow bus
and call read_irq_line in proper context.
