that patch came from -mm towards us shortly before the merge window. 
Once we had it integrated Chris Friesen reported a boot hang on a G5, 
and there's a fix pending for the bug, see it below.

Will send it to Linus expressly. Fortunately only a minority of Linux 
users will ever run a box that uses set_irq_type() - but yes it needs to 
be fixed.

In set_irq_type() we want to pass the type rather than the current
interrupt state.
