genirq: Add oneshot support
For threaded interrupt handlers we expect the hard interrupt handler
part to mask the interrupt on the originating device. The interrupt
line itself is reenabled after the hard interrupt handler has
executed.
This requires access to the originating device from hard interrupt
context which is not always possible. There are devices which can only
be accessed via a bus (i2c, spi, ...). The bus access requires thread
context. For such devices we need to keep the interrupt line masked
until the threaded handler has executed.
Add a new flag IRQF_ONESHOT which allows drivers to request that the
interrupt is not unmasked after the hard interrupt context handler has
been executed and the thread has been woken. The interrupt line is
unmasked after the thread handler function has been executed.
Note that for now IRQF_ONESHOT cannot be used with IRQF_SHARED to
avoid complex accounting mechanisms.
For oneshot interrupts the primary handler simply returns
IRQ_WAKE_THREAD and does nothing else. A generic implementation
irq_default_primary_handler() is provided to avoid useless copies all
over the place. It is automatically installed when
request_threaded_irq() is called with handler=NULL and
thread_fn!=NULL.
