From: Mukesh Kumar Chaurasiya <redacted>

Enable the generic IRQ entry/exit infrastructure on PowerPC by selecting
GENERIC_IRQ_ENTRY and integrating the architecture-specific interrupt
handlers with the generic entry/exit APIs.

This change replaces PowerPC’s local interrupt entry/exit handling with
calls to the generic irqentry_* helpers, aligning the architecture with
the common kernel entry model. The macros that define interrupt, async,
and NMI handlers are updated to use irqentry_enter()/irqentry_exit()
and irqentry_nmi_enter()/irqentry_nmi_exit() where applicable.

Key updates include:
  - Select GENERIC_IRQ_ENTRY in Kconfig.
  - Replace interrupt_enter/exit_prepare() with arch_interrupt_* helpers.
  - Integrate irqentry_enter()/exit() in standard and async interrupt paths.
  - Integrate irqentry_nmi_enter()/exit() in NMI handlers.
  - Remove redundant irq_enter()/irq_exit() calls now handled generically.
  - Use irqentry_exit_cond_resched() for preemption checks.

This change establishes the necessary wiring for PowerPC to use the
generic IRQ entry/exit framework while maintaining existing semantics.
Did you look into resulting code ?

do_IRQ() is bigger and calls irqentry_enter() which is bigger than 
irq_enter().

And irq_enter_rcu() was tail-called from irq_enter(), now is it called 
after irqentry_enter().

A reason why this change comes now and not in the patch that added
