Hi Qais,
	Instead of extending the irq_domain_ops, how about extending
irq_chip instead? If we treat IPI as a sort of irq controller, and
irq_chip is used to encapsulate all irq controller related operations,
and irq_domain_ops is mainly used to allocated resources instead of
operating corresponding hardware.
Thanks!
Gerry
