handle_domain_irq() contains two major parts:
  -1. irq_enter()/irq_exit(), which serves as hooks for rcu and trace etc.
  -2. irq mapping and dispatching

After the introduction of irqentry_enter()/irqentry_exit() and arch
specific counterpart (e.g. arm64), roughly speaking, rcu_irq_enter() has
already been called.  Hence here comes requirement to move
irq_enter/irq_exit out of handle_domain_irq(). And arches should handle
about irq_enter_rcu()/irq_exit_rcu() by themself.

Since there is still arches, which does not adopt irqentry_enter(), let
irq_enter()/irq_exit() arch optional in handle_domain_irq().
The patch below looks good to me, but the commit message is a little
hard to follow. How about:

  When an IRQ is taken, some accounting needs to be performed to enter
  and exit IRQ context around the IRQ handler. Historically arch code
  would leave this to the irqchip or core IRQ code, but these days we
  want this to happen in exception entry code, and architectures such as
  arm64 do this.

  Currently handle_domain_irq() performs this entry/exit accounting, and
  if used on an architecture where the entry code also does this, the
  entry/exit accounting will be performed twice per IRQ. This is
  problematic as core RCU code such as rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle()
  depends on this happening once per IRQ, and will not detect quescent
  periods correctly, leading to stall warnings.

  As irqchip drivers which use handle_domain_irq() need to work on
  architectures with or without their own entry/exit accounting, this
  patch makes handle_domain_irq() conditionally perform the entry
  accounting depending on a new HAVE_ARCH_IRQENTRY Kconfig symbol that
  architectures can select if they perform this entry accounting
  themselves.

  For architectures which do not select the symbol. there should be no
  functional change as a result of this patch.

With that commit message:
