__do_IRQ will be called from the generic code if irq_desc->handle_irq is
not set for an interrupt and handle_irq will be left NULL if a platform
only calls set_irq_chip or even does a homebrew initialization. Fix is
to call set_irq_chip_and_handler or better set_irq_chip_and_handler_name.
Iow, now with CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS_NO__DO_IRQ always set half the
platforms will blow up because the function pointer irq_desc->handle_irq
is unset.
