I generally dislike adding optional linux/* includes in asm/* includes -
I'm nervous about this causing include loops.

However, there's a separate point to be discussed here.

That is, what interfaces are expected of every architecture in the kernel.
If generic code wants to be able to set the affinity of interrupts, then
that needs to become part of the interfaces listed in linux/interrupt.h
rather than linux/irq.h.

So what I suggest is this approach instead (against Linus' tree of a
couple of days ago) - we move irq_set_affinity() and irq_can_set_affinity()
to linux/interrupt.h, change the linux/irq.h includes to linux/interrupt.h
and include asm/irq_regs.h where needed (asm/irq_regs.h is supposed to be
rarely used include since not much touches the stacked parent context
registers.)

Build tested on ARM PXA family kernels and ARM's Realview platform
kernels which both use genirq.
