Please split the patches into two pieces:

1) Add the infrastructure to the generic code and have a new Kconfig symbol

   GENERIC_IRQ_MULTI_HANDLER

   or something which fits in the GENERIC_IRQ_ name space.

   That also makes sure that the build does not fail after patch 1 for the
   non converted arch. With your change this breaks arm64 build with only
   patch 1 applied because the Kconfig symbol is defined twice and the code
   is defined twice. See drivers/irqchip/Kconfig ARM_GIC_V3 ....
   
2) Convert both arm and arm64 over along with the select statements in the
   arch and irqchip Kconfigs

Thanks,

	tglx
