That was a goofup. I proposed that we should add a #define

I agree it would be a kind thing to do in this case.
Yep, I was thinking that including
#define IRQ_HANDLER_V3
would be a good idea.
it sets a certain precedent though.... we don't do this for the 500
other API changes we do each release (see stable-api-nonsense)... so
this one is mostly arbitrary picked out
We do for include/linux/netdevice.h, see HAVE_xxx -- and we should do it
because the last irq handler change was a pain for backports, and this
makes life easier for the backporters. irq handling is probably far
more global than any other kernel API except kmalloc()
