But, the API request_percpu_irq does not allow to pass a flag, hence specifying if the interrupt type is a timer. Add a function request_percpu_irq_flags() where we can specify the flags. The request_percpu_irq() function is changed to be a wrapper to request_percpu_irq_flags() passing a zero flag parameter.
And exactly this change wants to be a separate patch. We do not make whole sale changes this way. You should know that already and someone pointed that out to you in some of the earlier versions.

The function name sucks. The first time I read it, it meant request the per cpu irq flags, which is not what you aim at, right? Please make that __request_percpu_irq() for now and on -rc1 time provide a patch set to convert all current request_percpu_irq() users to have the extra argument and then remove the __request_percpu_irq() intermediate. Thanks, tglx
