My main focus is on the regmap-irq interface you are trying to add - why
would a user of this interface want to do this as a separate step (which
would require changing all the existing users...)?  We're providing an
interface to get the virq mapped to a particular interrupt in the
device, it's not obvious that that is an allocation and it certainly
wasn't the intention (this code predates us using domains).

That's one option, but you could also do this at the regmap-irq level.
