Now that we enjoy threaded interrupts, we're starting to see irq_chip implementations (wm831x, pca953x) that make use of threaded interrupts for the controller, and nested interrupts for the client interrupt. It all works very well, with one drawback: Drivers requesting an IRQ must now know whether the handler will run in a thread context or not, and call request_threaded_irq() or request_irq() accordingly. The problem is that the requesting driver sometimes doesn't know about the nature of the interrupt, specially when the interrupt controller is a discrete chip (typically a GPIO expander connected over I2C) that can be connected to a wide variety of otherwise perfectly supported hardware. This patch introduces the request_any_context_irq() function that mostly mimics the usual request_irq(), except that it checks whether the irq level is configured as nested or not, and calls the right backend. On success, it also returns either IRQC_IS_HARDIRQ or IRQC_IS_NESTED.
