[GIT/PATCH 0/4] Do not use IRQF_TIMER for non timer interrupts

Hi Thomas,

A small number of users of IRQF_TIMER are using it for the implied no
suspend behaviour on interrupts which are not timer interrupts.

Therefore the following series renames the IRQF_TIMER flag to
IRQF_NO_SUSPEND and updates the users which are not timer interrupts to
use the new name. IRQF_TIMER is retained as an alias for
IRQF_NO_SUSPEND.

The final patch in the series adds a new user the flag which disables
suspend of Xen IPI IRQs.

Ian.
