You may want to enable lockdep to verify that.

Then this doesn't work for edge signalling, as you will lose
interrupts that occur between the handling and EOI.

That's probably because you are using the wrong flow handler. You
should turn this irq_eoi into an irq_ack, because that's really what
it is, and use handle_edge_irq() as the flow handler.
