So I don't think your patch is quite right.
If you want to clear the IRQF_ONESHOT for MSI irq's (and other ones
where the interrupt controller is fundamentally ONESHOT), I think you
should do it a few lines higher up - *before* you check the "does the
IRQF_ONESHOT mask match other shared interrupts"?
Now, irq sharing presumably doesn't happen with MSI, but there's
nothing fundamentally wrong with message-based irq schemes that have
shared interrupt handlers.
I think. Hmm?
