Philippe, I think this should already be merged into Adeos although TRACE_IRQSOFF is not perfect yet.
Ok, it's queued for review. I'm busy right now integrating Dmitry's shared IRQ infrastructure into all supported archs and revalidating Xeno with the shortened interrupt path; once that's done and a first round of patches is rolled out, a second one will follow for x86 with the tracer fixes.
