I'm not sure that's worded correctly or not, but... fwiw, all IRQ handlers
_should_ be returning IRQ_NONE if the IRQ does not belong to them whether
or not they're shared handlers.

That is so the kernel can detect stuck IRQs and report that fact, rather
than just locking up silently.  ARM CPUs make no progress when the IRQ to
them is permanently asserted, so a stuck IRQ can be rather problematical.
