[PATCH] irq-flags: consolidate flags for request_irq
The recent interrupt rework introduced bit value conflicts with sparc.
Instead of introducing new architecture flags mess, move the interrupt SA_
flags out of the signal namespace and replace them by interrupt related flags.
This allows to remove the obsolete SA_INTERRUPT flag and clean up the bit
field values.
This patch:
Move the interrupt related SA_ flags out of linux/signal.h and rename them to
IRQF_ . This moves the interrupt related flags out of the signal namespace
and allows to remove the architecture dependencies.
SA_INTERRUPT is not needed by userspace and glibc so it can be removed safely.
The existing SA_ constants are kept for easy transition and will be
removed after a 6 month grace period.
