I certainly welcome the simplification this provides.

As for xa_count(), I'm trying to convince myself that the code under
CONFIG_IRQ_DOMAIN_DEBUG is now completely superseded by
CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_DEBUGFS, and that there would be more value in
getting rid of it rather than keeping it on life support.

Until then, the 1:1 replacement is good enough.
