i'd suggest we do something like:
#define __PT_REGS
so that backportable drivers can do:
static irqreturn_t irq_handler(int irq, void *dev_id __PT_REGS)
instead of an #ifdef jungle. Older kernel bases can define __PT_REGS in
their interrupt.h (or in the backported driver's header, in one place)
#ifndef __PT_REGS
# define __PT_REGS , struct pt_regs *regs
#endif
this would minimize the direct impact in the source-code.
