Great.

but let's see what
Marc thinks. I expect that he can still poke some holes in it, or
at least find some simplifications.

Right, though I may resend the patches properly first to make it less
confusing.

I was slightly surprised at the relation between the disabled and
masked states, where 'disable' always implies 'mask' and
'enable' always implies 'unmask', but I don't actually know how
those two are actually defined in the irqchip code in Linux, so
I assume you did this correctly.

I did have a look at the irq-core, but didn't go in real depth. I
rather saw how stuff happens at the driver's end.

- On setup-irq, the core only calls enable() and not unmask().
- On interrupt, the core calls mask(), followed by unmask() (which can
  be delayed for threaded irqs).
- On disable_irq(), the core only calls disable().
- On enable_irq(), the core only calls enable().

And so I ended up at this version :)
