This is looking really good!

Hm OK I guess. It would be ugly to ifdef all hierarchy
code in gpiolib.

This is looking really good!

Please drop this. The default .to_irq() should be good for everyone.
Also patch 2/2 now contains a identical copy of the gpiolib
.to_irq() which I suspect you indended to drop, actually.

Other than that I'm ready to merge the v3 of this!
