Patch is here, thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] drm_irq: Introducing the irq_thread support

For some GPUs, the irq handler need >1ms to handle the irq action.
And it will delay the whole system irq handler.

This patch is adding the irq thread support, it will make the drm_irq
interface more flexible.

The changes include:
1/ Change the request_irq to request_thread_irq, and add new callback
   irq_handler_t;
2/ Normally we need IRQF_ONESHOT flag support for irq thread, so add
   this option in drm_irq;
