The function xnarch_irq_enable seems to be called in only two functions,
xintr_enable and xnintr_irq_handler when the flag XN_ISR_ENABLE is set.
In any case, since I am not sure if this has to be done at the Adeos
level or in Xenomai, we will wait for Philippe to come back and decide.
->enable() and ->end() all mixed up illustrates a silly x86 bias I once had. We do
need to differentiate the mere enabling from the IRQ epilogue at PIC level since
Linux does it - i.e. we don't want to change the semantics here.
I would go for adding xnarch_end_irq -> rthal_irq_end to stick with the Linux
naming scheme, and have the proper epilogue done from there on a per-arch basis.
Current uses of xnarch_enable_irq() should be reserved to the non-epilogue case,
like xnintr_enable() i.e. forcibly unmasking the IRQ source at PIC level outside
of any ISR context for such interrupt (*). XN_ISR_ENABLE would trigger a call to
xnarch_end_irq, instead of xnarch_enable_irq. I see no reason for this fix to leak
to the Adeos layer, since the HAL already controls the way interrupts are ended
actually; it just does it improperly on some platforms.
(*) Jan, does rtdm_irq_enable() have the same meaning, or is it intended to be
used from the ISR too in order to revalidate the source at PIC level?
