Drivers should not use NO_IRQ; moreover, some architectures don't
have it nowadays. '0' is the 'no irq' case.

In case if we don't want a "band-aid fix" for 3.2, here is the patch
that just does the proper fix (w/ a risk to break minor architectures).

This is now broken on ARM where, for good or bad, NO_IRQ currently is
used and is -1.

How do we resolve it?

One option is to test this patch on a board that is now broken:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/10/290

So that someone provide Tested-by tag. With the tag we probably can
push the patch for 3.2, and thus fix the issue once and forever.


The other option is to revert the correct fix, and push the bogus
one, i.e. this:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/10/287

But that last option is less likely, as this was NAKed by Alan Cox.
