Re: [PATCH 3/3] IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers

The overwhelming majority of irq handlers don't use the 'irq' argumenteither... the driver-supplied pointer is what drivers use, exclusively,to differentiate between different instances.

If we are going to break all the irq handlers, I'd suggest going aheadand removing that one too.
