I'd prefer to not use a name that implies a specific hardware to describe two (mostly) similar but different hardwares.

Nope. It is used via the pr_{err,info,...} macros.

No, it acks just a single IRQ.
But the simple write idea may work. I need to check if writing 0s causes no harm (which IIRC is true).

__ffs() matches exactly that. Thanks.
