15   This call allocates interrupt resources and enables the
16   interrupt line and IRQ handling. It selects either a
17   hardirq or threaded handling method depending on the
18   context.
19   </p><p>

21   On failure, it returns a negative value. On success,
22   it returns either IRQC_IS_HARDIRQ or IRQC_IS_NESTED.
