Hi Vetter:

Do you mean we can just not use drm_irq_install, and make
request_irq in our kernel driver pre-install or post-install
interface?

Well, you cant use the pre_install/post_install hooks the drm_irq code provides, but yes, just do the request_irq in your driver code at the right time, with the right parameters. Much easier than adding code to a part of the drm core fraught with backwards-compat stuff no one really wants to touch ... All the additional stuff besides calling request_irq and the driver hooks that drm_irq_install does is really just to support old dri1 userspace.
