request_irq() is not a nice interface for s390, but it will probably make
sense to convert the two existing users of register_external_interrupt to
use that instead, in order to get something that can be shared across
architectures for virtual drivers.
It basically means extending struct ext_int_info_t to include a name and
a void* member that gets passed back to the interrupt handler, and to check
for invalid flags passed to request_irq.
You might want to show these in /proc/interrupts then as well,
as per-interrupt values.
