Maybe, but the way you end up gutting out some internal functions of the parser so they can be overriden by the arch is just plain gross :-) And more bloat than just having a localized quirk test which can easily compile to nothing when powermac isn't built. IE. I'd rather you then add some kind of of_irq_map_fixup() or something like that in the generic code that can be an empty inline when powermac isn't there, and be defined by powerpc to do the right thing then, rather than move the core of the function to a separate weak version. Because the day you fix a bug in the weak variant, or change a calling convention, you'll forget to also update the "overrides" in the arch. > If other platforms show up with bad irq mappings, then I want to take > the approach of fixing the data rather than adding more quirks cases. > > Anyway, let me try my hand at reworking to be a lot clearer and see > what it looks like.
