       chip
	   low level interrupt hardware access

       msi_desc
	   MSI descriptor

       handler_data
	   per-IRQ data for the irq_chip methods

       chip_data
	   platform-specific per-chip private data for the chip methods, to allow shared chip implementations

       action
	   the irq action chain

       status
	   status information

       depth
	   disable-depth, for nested irq_disable calls

       wake_depth
	   enable depth, for multiple set_irq_wake callers

       irq_count
	   stats field to detect stalled irqs

       last_unhandled
	   aging timer for unhandled count

       irqs_unhandled
	   stats field for spurious unhandled interrupts

       lock
	   locking for SMP

       affinity
	   IRQ affinity on SMP

       node
	   node index useful for balancing

       pending_mask
	   pending rebalanced interrupts

       threads_active
	   number of irqaction threads currently running

       wait_for_threads
	   wait queue for sync_irq to wait for threaded handlers

       dir
	   /proc/irq/ procfs entry

       name
