That arm bit would need to be set_handle_irq(mdesc->handle_irq); anywhere it
uses handle_arch_irq it's depending on the CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_MULTI_HANDLER
definition.

While I agree it would seem nice to encapsulate this, in future we want
architectures to move to the more correct entry sequencing described in the
cover letter, and when that happens they should invoke handle_arch_irq()
directly, so I think this is best to leave as-is.

We have custom logic on arm64 because we want to handle IRQ and FIQ
consistently, and there wasn't a neat way to bodge that into the generic code,
but that issue doesn't apply to the other users of
CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_MULTI_HANDLER.

Thanks,
Mark.
