"arch/ppc/kernel/irq.c":

...
#if (defined(CONFIG_8xx) || defined(CONFIG_8260))
/* Name change so we can catch standard drivers that potentially mess up
 * the internal interrupt controller on 8xx and 8260.  Just bear with me,

#define request_irq     request_8xxirq
#elif defined(CONFIG_APUS)
#define request_irq     request_sysirq
#define free_irq        sys_free_irq
#endif
...

Next question, please...
