That was a goofup.  I proposed that we should add a #define

I agree it would be a kind thing to do in this case.


Yep, I was thinking that including

	#define IRQ_HANDLER_V3

would be a good idea.


it sets a certain precedent though.... we don't do this for the 500
other API changes we do each release (see stable-api-nonsense)... so
this one is mostly arbitrary picked out

We do for include/linux/netdevice.h, see HAVE_xxx -- and we should do it because the last irq handler change was a pain for backports, and this makes life easier for the backporters. irq handling is probably far more global than any other kernel API except kmalloc()
