Surely we only need SPARSE_IRQ now and not MAY_HAVE_SPARSE_IRQ.  

In fact, keeping MAY_HAVE_SPARSE_IRQ seems to make SPARSE_IRQ user
selectable, which we don't want anymore since ad5b7f1350c2.

Yes, indeed. I will fix up the merge resolution for tomorrow.

This is my fault. Grant's patch had a collision and I manually fixed it
up. While doing that, I put back MAY_HAVE_SPARSE_IRQ which the patch
originally took out.

Actually, I didn't keep MAY_HAVE_SPARSE_IRQ, I kept HAVE_SPARSE_IRQ. If
I remove it, then I get Kconfig warnings:

warning: (PPC) selects SPARSE_IRQ which has unmet direct dependencies (HAVE_GENERIC_HARDIRQS && HAVE_SPARSE_IRQ)

Cheers,
Ben.
