Some irqchip drivers need to take the generic chip lock outside of the irq context. Provide the irq_gc_{lock_irqsave,unlock_irqrestore}() helpers to allow one to disable irqs while entering a critical section protected by gc->lock. Note that we do not provide optimized version of these helpers for !SMP, because they are not called from the hot-path. [ tglx: Added a comment when these helpers should be [not] used ]
