Again, this is really out of my area, but based on
Documentation/core-api/irq/irq-domain.rst, I assumed the point of
hwirq was that hwirq numbers were local to an interrupt controller,
i.e., to an irq_domain.

If that's the case, it should not be a problem if hwirq number
0xc8000000 is used in two separate irq_domains.
