Which makes me think (again) that we should have an optional device_node pointer in irq_host. I know you said you wanted the irq stuff to be OF agnostic, but the reality is most of the implementations do have an OF node. And all of the newer irq_host implementations do, with the exception of PS3 and celleb - which are special.
How do you suggest to get a reasonable display name out of the device tree? The recommended human-readable name for interrupt controller nodes is "interrupt-controller"... You cannot use "device_type" either, and using "compatible" requires selecting one of its string entries, and likely using a lookup table after that, too. Segher
