Whenever an interrupt triggers, the lowlevel arch code calls into
the generic interrupt code by calling desc->handle_irq().
This highlevel IRQ handling function only uses desc->chip primitives
referenced by the assigned chip descriptor structure.

The original implementation __do_IRQ() was an alternative entry

</para>
<para>
This handler turned out to be not suitable for all
interrupt hardware and was therefore reimplemented with split
functionality for egde/level/simple/percpu interrupts. This is not
functionality for edge/level/simple/percpu interrupts. This is not
only a functional optimization. It also shortens code paths for
interrupts.
</para>
<para>
To make use of the split implementation, replace the call to
__do_IRQ by a call to desc->handle_irq() and associate
the appropriate handler function to desc->handle_irq().
In most cases the generic handler implementations should
be sufficient.
