No.   We set the chained handler on the top level irq (on the irq
to the primary irq controller).  The handler is set to this 8xx_cascade
function.  We don't change the handler on the subordnate irq that
is invoked via generic_handle_irq in this function.

Or that is how I understand things to work, and this makes the 8xx
code match the current 8xxx cpm1 cascade handler.

Of course, it would be good for someone with hardware to confirm
that it works with the patch (or even put a printk or counter in the
handler if that would not cause printk recursion -- don't do it on
your console).
