Russell,

I know and it is marked with __exception_irq_entry. The above is in
include/linux/irqchip/orion.h and only used for .init_irq in machine
descriptor later.

The irq handler is never exposed to the board file itself, but set
within orion_init_irq. This approach has been taked by
irqchip/irq-gic.c and irqchip/irq-vic.c rather than adding
.handle_irq to the machine descriptor.
