Part of what I am thinking is that there should never be a patch that does s/NR_IRQS/nr_irqs/ that is just pointless noise.
Either we need a new abstraction like for_each_irq or to update the code to the current best practices.
Which means the patches should be uncontroversial and mergeble on their own with no weird dependencies.
