>1. The core allocates a unique index using an IDA
>2. The allocated index is mapped to a range starting above `INT_MAX`
>
>This separation ensures that dynamically allocated indices never collide
>with standard driver-provided hardware indices, which are assumed to be
>within the `0` to `INT_MAX` range. The index is automatically freed when
>the pin is released in dpll_pin_put().
