I currently try to evaluate virtio_console for kvm on s390 and got
the following problem:
virtio_console uses hvc_alloc with irq=0. That means, register_irq
and free_irq are never called by hvc_console.c, but the linker will
still complain about unknown references to free_irq and request_irq.
As the whole kernel/irq folder depends on CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS
it seems consistent to declare all functions from kernel/irq only if
CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS is set. Otherwise we can use empty functions.
This patch does that for register_irq and free_irq.
Comments?
