Whole series applied to irqchip/handle_domain with Acks applied and
subject line tweaked for capitalization.  Turns out we have the openrisc
Ack from:

  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140827170905.GA5838@chokladfabriken.org

I'll let this sit in -next for a few days and then merge it into
irqchip/core.

thx,

Jason.
