Pull irq cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of cleanups for the generic interrupt subsystem:
- Consolidate on one set of functions for the interrupt domain code
to get rid of pointlessly duplicated code with only marginal
different semantics.
- Update the documentation accordingly and consolidate the coding
style of the irqdomain header"
