[RFC][PATCH] genirq: add IRQF_NONE

[Michael Opdenacker <michael.opdenacker@free-electrons.com>]

What about adding an IRQF_NONE flag as in the below patch?

I'm currently working on removing the use of the deprecated
IRQF_DISABLED flag, and frequently have to replace
IRQF_DISABLED by 0, typically in request_irq() arguments.

Using IRQF_NONE instead of 0 would make the code more readable,
at least for people reading driver code for the first time.

Would it worth it?

I'm sure this kind of idea has come up many times before...
