Ok, that was a hack too far! Let's fix this properly.

Well, grepping for set_chained_irq_handler yields a whole bunch of platforms
but the set of these which appear to use the gic is only:

mach-msm
mach-s5pv310
mach-shmobile
mach-tegra

I'll have a look through the code there and post some patches next week.
Hopefully if I've missed anybody, they'll shout then.

Cheers,
