While checking the results of the :c:func: removal, I noticed that there
was no documentation for request_irq(), and request_threaded_irq() was not
mentioned at all.  Add a kerneldoc comment for request_irq() and add
request_threaded_irq() to the list of functions.

Which reminds me that this documentation really needs some thorough
rewrite ...
