Recently (May 23), amaranth changed the way Signals are initialized. There is now a metaclass that is hooked in, which is responsible for calling the actual concrete class's initializer. Currently it does so, like this: signal = super().__call__(shape, **kwargs, src_loc_at=src_loc_at + 1).

So, all Signals and Signal subclasses now need to accept a shape positional arg. This causes a problem for IRQLine in lambdasoc, which defines its initializer as def __init__(self, *, name=None, src_loc_at=0):. So, if you try to use IRQLine with a newer amaranth checkout, you will get a somewhat confusing error like this (taken from a LUNA example SoC):

Traceback (most recent call last):

    signal = super().__call__(shape, **kwargs, src_loc_at=src_loc_at + 1)
TypeError: __init__() takes 1 positional argument but 2 positional arguments (and 2 keyword-only arguments) were given

Fortunately, all we need to do is accept that shape positional arg, and discard it or pass it on to the superclass initializer. We can even make it totally optional at the same time. As far as I know, IRQLine is the only class in lambdasoc that needs this change.

Thanks!
