Several architectures select GENERIC_IRQ_MULTI_HANDLER and branch to handle_arch_irq() without performing any entry accounting. Add a generic wrapper to handle the common irqentry work when invoking handle_arch_irq(). Where an architecture needs to perform some entry accounting itself, it will need to invoke handle_arch_irq() itself. In subsequent patches it will become the responsibilty of the entry code to set the irq regs when entering an IRQ (rather than deferring this to an irqchip handler), so generic_handle_arch_irq() is made to set the irq regs now. This can be redundant in some cases, but is never harmful as saving/restoring the old regs nests safely.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
