+ *
+ * There are certain limitations on when it may be used - attempts to use it
+ * for when the kernel is configured for generic IRQ reservation mode (in
+ * config GENERIC_IRQ_RESERVATION_MODE) will fail, as it may conflict with
+ * managed/non-managed interrupt accounting. In addition, attempts to use it on

+ * as managed will also fail, as these mean invalid init state or double init.
