Let me report that with this change Beagle board fails to boot,

Confirmed here.

Commit f3637a5f2e2eb391ff5757bc83fb5de8f9726464 ("irq: Always set 
IRQF_ONESHOT if no primary handler is specified"), merged as part of 
v3.1-rc3, won't boot into userspace via MMC on either OMAP4 Panda or 
OMAP3530 BeagleBoard.  v3.1-rc2 works.

Users of BB should revert this until the offending driver(s) are fixed.

If no primary handler is specified then a default one is assigned which
always returns IRQ_WAKE_THREAD. This handler requires the IRQF_ONESHOT
flag on LEVEL / EIO typed irqs because the source of interrupt is not
disabled.
Since it is required for those users and there is no difference for others
it makes sense to add this flag unconditionally.

A quick grep shows that drivers/staging/iio/adc/ad7816.c is the only
driver in tree doing it wrong i.e. request_threaded_irq with
IRQF_TRIGGER_{LOW|HIGH} but without ONEHOST.

There are 59 users in tree which request an edge typed interrupt. 24 of
them specify the ONEHOST flag the others don't. Both variants are valid
and identical but a consistent behavior would be nice.

There is a total of 134 users and 87 specify the irq type directly. For
the remaining 47 the type depends on initial configuration of the irq chip
or it might be specified via the device tree, dunno. 
Should that patch be accepted I suggest to remove the ONESHOT flag from
every request_th.* which uses NULL as the primary handler so we have a
consistent behavior here.
