 	Removal is subject to fixing any remaining bugs in ACPI which may

+-----------------------------

+What:	__do_IRQ all in one fits nothing interrupt handler
+When:	2.6.32
+Why:	__do_IRQ was kept for easy migration to the type flow handlers.
+	More than two years of migration time is enough.

+What:	obsolete generic irq defines and typedefs
+When:	2.6.30
+Why:	The defines and typedefs (hw_interrupt_type, no_irq_type, irq_desc_t)
+	have been kept around for migration reasons. After more than two years
+	it's time to remove them finally
