The irq timings infrastructure tracks when interrupts occur in order to statistically predict te next interrupt event. There is no point to track timer interrupts and try to predict them because the next expiration time is already known. This can be avoided via the IRQF_TIMER flag which is passed by timer drivers in request_irq(). It marks the interrupt as timer based which alloes to ignore these interrupts in the timings code. Per CPU interrupts which are requested via request_percpu_+irq() have no flag argument, so marking per cpu timer interrupts is not possible and they get tracked pointlessly. Add __request_percpu_irq() as a variant of request_percpu_irq() with a flags argument and make request_percpu_irq() an inline wrapper passing flags = 0. The flag parameter is restricted to IRQF_TIMER as all other IRQF_ flags make no sense for per cpu interrupts. The next step is to convert all existing users of request_percpu_irq() and then remove the wrapper and the underscores.
