No.  The whole point of the commit was to avoid nested includes
as per the commit log:

    Also convert the irq_alloc_descs variants to macros, since all
    they really do is is call the __irq_alloc_descs primitive.
    This avoids including export.h and no debug info is lost.

If your file is relating to modular usage such that it is a modular
provider of interrupt sources and hence uses "THIS_MODULE", then it
will need export.h in the future. And that macro has nothing whatsoever
to do with any irq defines; it is used all over the kernel to tie
structures back to a (possibly modular) code block, just as per the
use case here in irq.h is.

Thanks,
Paul.
