On the other hand, this will require including <linux/irq.h> into
various files that currently use __irq_section.
But that header has a comment saying:

/*
 * Please do not include this file in generic code.  There is currently
 * no requirement for any architecture to implement anything held
 * within this file.
 *
 * Thanks. --rmk
 */

Do we really want to put anything into that header?
