a field in irq_desc[] was frowned upon during initial genirq review, due
to size reasons, so i removed it and replaced it with the hack.

i think we could add a 'register handler name' API (or extend
set_irq_handler() API), to pass in the name of handlers, and store it in
a small array (instead of embedding it in irq_desc)? handle_irq_name()
is not performance-critical.
