It looks really great. Not.

Sight... Do you realize that these two locks do not protect the same
thing at all? One protects the interrupt data, and the other protects
the MMIO register which is shared between multiple interrupts, and
on which the driver performs a RMW.

Thanks to the removal of this spinlock, two irq_set_type() can execute
in parallel and silently corrupt the register. Not exactly an
improvement.
