Okay, I've got a theory about what the issue is now. The .map()
callback is failing (returning non-zero) for one of the hwirqs. The
new code is stricter about associations, and actually unwinds the
associations if one of them fails. The old legacy code simply called
all the .map() hooks blindly without any error checking. Can you send
me the kernel log after backing out those changes.

The other possibility is that irqs aren't being reserved correctly.
Seeing the backtrace will tell me which issue it is.

In the mean time I've backed out the top three commits from irqdomain/next.
