Adds the possibility to read the interrupt status register bit for the
gpio pin. Expose the bit as an isr file in sysfs.

NACK. We have frozen the sysfs ABI and we are working on a
character device to replace it for userspace access, see:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-gpio&m=144550276512673&w=2

Second question is *WHY* you want this crazy thing? Userspace
should want *events* from a file descriptor, like IIO does it for
example (on top of a proper chardev), not polling a register to
figure out if an IRQ occurred.

We need to think about the real solution to what you want to do.

Yours,
