Yes, there is two way, to handle irq.
One is use share irq, so my sdhci driver have following outcome when share 
irq, 
	cat /proc/interrupt
	----------
	34:         82      AVIC  26 Edge      mmc0, mmc1
	---------
when use cascaded interrupt. 
	.........
	292:         35  sdhci-ic   0 Edge      mmc0
	293:         42  sdhci-ic   1 Edge      mmc1
	---------
use separate slot (actually it is) interrupt, it have advantage for each slot 
debug. if use share. the debug will not easy.
