I disagree. It's not any easier at all.
On PC's (x86 and x86-64) we actually already set the ELCR as well as we
can (look for "eisa_set_level_irq()"). And a driver _literally_ cannot
change it from the system value, because of the polarity confusion.
In the other cases (IO-APIC) we usually have it level, but when we have it
marked as an edge, there is almost always a real reason for that too (ie
legacy interrupt, it really _is_ edge-high, not level-low).
