+ * Access rules:
+ *
+ * procfs protects read/write of /proc/irq/N/ files against a
+ * concurrent free of the interrupt descriptor. remove_proc_entry()
+ * immediately prevents new read/writes to happen and waits for
+ * already running read/write functions to complete.
+ *
+ * We remove the proc entries first and then delete the interrupt
+ * descriptor from the radix tree and free it. So it is guaranteed
+ * that irq_to_desc(N) is valid as long as the read/writes are
+ * permitted by procfs.
+ *
+ * The read from /proc/interrupts is a different problem because there
+ * is no protection. So the lookup and the access to irqdesc
+ * information must be protected by sparse_irq_lock.
