This patch adds an accessor function for IRQ_PER_CPU flag.
The accessor function is useful to dertermine whether an IRQ is percpu or not.

This looks like a copy of Chris Smith's patch. Shouldn't Chris be the
author and the commit text be whatever Chris sent?

In the cover letter of this patch series I did mention about Chris's
earlier patch. I didn't know his email-id earlier, have found the
mail-id now. CCing the mail-id to check whether it's still valid.

Chris's mail-id doesn't seem to be valid, the earlier mail to his
mail-id [chris.smith at st.com] bounced.
Please let me know in such case how to mention original author's credits.

It's up to the maintainer accepting the patch. If I was picking up the
patch I would say it doesn't really matter if the mail-id is valid
anymore. Leave the original patch intact and just add your sign-off. If
you took the patch and significantly changed it it's good to put
"Based-on-a-patch-by:" and then take over authorship.

Thanks for the info.

I have made a minor change w.r.t. Chris's original patch: changed the
accessor function name from irq_is_per_cpu() to irq_is_percpu() since
I think irq_is_percpu() name is more inline with other *percpu* kernel
functions.

I will put Chris's sign-off as well as mine. I hope tglx will be fine with this.
