ok, i've improved the comment in trace_irqflags.h.

seems like the most practical place for it. Previously we had no central
include file for irq-flags APIs (they used to be included from
asm/system.h and other random per-arch places) - trace_irqflags.h has
become the central file now. Should i rename it to irqflags.h perhaps,
to not tie it to tracing? We have some deprecated irq-flags ops in
interrupt.h, maybe this all belongs there. (although i think it's
cleaner to have linux/include/irqflags.h and include it from
interrupt.h)
