No.  IMO the current request_8xxirq / request_irq stuff is completely
bogus.  I can understand it as a temporary construction while
debugging stuff, but it has long outlived its usefulness.  We should
just use request_irq for everything, request_8xxirq should die.

Multiple people have submitted patches to fix this but they have not made it
into the release code. What can be done?
