Please don't introduce anymore of these insane ad-hoc crazy architecture macros.

Just make it a regular config option, which makes it much easier for
architectures to just select it at config time.

So make it something like CONFIG_IRQ_EXIT_ON_IRQ_STACK, and then
x86-64 (and now Power) can just do

    select IRQ_EXIT_ON_IRQ_STACK

in their arch/*/Kconfig files.

Basically, we really should strive to get rid of all those insane
[__]ARCH_xyzzy flags. We have too many of them, and they are insane.
