I do not disagree with this.
But at the moment asm/pgtable.h is used by all sorts of generic code, and asm/hw_irq.h by none. I don't think I'm being unreasonable -- show me some generic irq code that needs architectural support and I'll add or move what's needed.

As an aside, how exactly do you intend to implement hw_resend_irq on alpha? On x86, I see that it fiddles the IOAPIC to do the job; there is no similar trick on alpha. Your implementation was a nop, which just doesn't seem possible.
Perhaps I simply misunderstand what that thing is supposed to be trying to accomplish. And for that I might consider the complete lack of documentation a sort of bug. ;-)
