there hasnt been any real problem since the MSI one. The core bits are 
rather stable. The patch-queue had positive input from the maintainers 
of the two architectures with the most complex IRQ hardware (arm and 
ppc*), and that's reassuring. But in any case, other architectures are 
not affected at all (sans brow paperbag build bugs and typos), their 
__do_IRQ() handling remains unchanged. So i'd like to see this in 
2.6.18. (there a good deal of stuff we have ontop of genirq)

(the irqpoll discussions are unrelated to genirq - they are fixes for an 
irqpoll problem that the lock validator uncovered, and naturally those 
patches were ontop of genirq.)
