FWIW, I have been working in this area extensively.

Check out the 'irq-cleanups' and 'irq-remove' branches of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/misc-2.6.git

(irq-remove is built on top of irq-cleanups)

ACK all of the above

NAK the rest.

You should be using irq_handler_t for all these.

(Coincedentally, doing so makes it easier for me to later on remove the 
almost-never-used 'irq' argument from all irq handlers)
