For now, we express the mapping by putting an interrupt-map in the

Using a dedicated irq domain or a fake interrupt controller node to
encapsulate the motherboard interrupts feels like a cleaner approach,
but for now I'm not clear on the best way to do it.

An irq nexus node would indeed be something to investigate for your
particular case.  Look for examples of interrupt-map.  It is most
often used for handling IRQ swizzling on PCI busses.
