But as you illustrated, there is a large number of drivers that already assume no IRQ is < 0, even if they don't use any IRQ #0 themselves. That is a much bigger problem to fix.
And a much larger number assuming the reverse is true which are hiding potential bugs on ARM. Looking at the serial stuff the best checks appear to be looking at "irq", "-1" and NO_IRQ. For migration stuff that's doing broken things like if (irq < 0) can be changed to if (irq <= 0) and that can be done before NO_IRQ itself is nailed on ARM and PA-RISC.
