The original general IRQ implementation used hw_interrupt_type
structures and their ->ack(), ->end() [etc.] callbacks to
differentiate the flow control in the super-handler. This leads to
a mix of flow logic and lowlevel hardware logic, and it also leads
to unnecessary code duplication: for example in i386, there is a
ioapic_level_irq and a ioapic_edge_irq irq-type which share many
of the lowlevel details but have different flow handling.
