This difference might cause endless confusion. Can't you register PPI and SPI as
separate IRQ controllers to have the same number space that we normally have?
In ACPI, they used a conception named GSI (Global System Interrupts)
for irq, GSI number can not be the same even if there are muti GICs,
so I use the identity mapping for hwirq for ACPI.

Thanks you very much for your comments :)
