Hm, I thought in Linux the "top half" was the part that submitted work, and the "bottom half" was the deferred interrupt processing. I've been around Linux over 25 years, and I've never seen anyone call the interrupt handler the "top half". I've seen plenty of code call it the "DPC" (Windows terminology, I believe)
