Look at the pt_regs change -- the irq change is similar:
The information does not go away, it is merely available via another

but pt_regs is alot less frequently used than irq - and where it's used
they arent "drivers" but mostly arch level code like hw-timer handlers.
Nonetheless the -vast majority- of drivers don't use the argument at
