So the only idea I could come up with is the old approach of creating
a dummy irq chip for the interrupts which share that timer/uart/rtc
whatever line.

I think Boris Brezillon had implemented it at some point, but it was
shot down for reasons I can't remember. That would allow us to simply
have disable_irq_nosync/enable_irq in the relevant code pathes and be
done with it. I guess I need to find the references and give it a try
again if nobody beats me to it.

Thanks,

tglx
