Seems so:

[mark@lakrids:~/src/linux]% git grep -w handle_irq_desc   
arch/arm/kernel/irq.c:          handle_irq_desc(desc);
include/linux/irqdesc.h:int handle_irq_desc(struct irq_desc *desc);
kernel/irq/irqdesc.c:int handle_irq_desc(struct irq_desc *desc)
kernel/irq/irqdesc.c:   return handle_irq_desc(irq_to_desc(irq));
kernel/irq/irqdesc.c:   return handle_irq_desc(irq_resolve_mapping(domain, hwirq));

I'll add a patch to clean that up.

Thanks,
Mark
