More than a decade ago, interrupt handlers on sparc started returning 0
(interrupt was not for me), 1 (positive interrupt was for me), or -1 (i am not sure...). We have continued with this practice in as many drivers as possible, throughout the tree. This makes some of the architectures use that information in their interrupt handler calling code -- if 1 is returned (and we know this specific machine does not have edge-shared interrupts), we finish servicing other possible handlers on the same pin. If the interrupt pin remains asserted (from a different device), we will end up back in the interrupt servicing code of course... but this is cheaper than calling all the chained interrupts on a pin. This does of course count on shared level interrupts being properly sorted by IPL. There have been some concerns about starvation of drivers which incorrectly return 1. Those drivers should be hunted down so that they return -1. ok and help from various people. In snaps for about a week now.
