Patch applied.

I'm thinking that we need some recommendations on how to write
IRQ handlers in order to be RT-compatible. Can you help me lining
up the requirements in Documentation/gpio/driver.txt?

I will write an RFC patch and let you write some additional text
to it in response then we can iterate it a bit.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
