Ok, I should be completely missing the point here, but could someone enlighten
me why would the following make sense? (nslu2 example)

#define NSLU2_PCI_INTA_PIN	11
#define NSLU2_PCI_INTB_PIN	10
#define NSLU2_PCI_INTC_PIN	9
#define NSLU2_PCI_INTD_PIN	8

#define        IRQ_NSLU2_PCI_INTA      IRQ_IXP4XX_GPIO11
#define        IRQ_NSLU2_PCI_INTB      IRQ_IXP4XX_GPIO10
#define        IRQ_NSLU2_PCI_INTC      IRQ_IXP4XX_GPIO9

Then do all the "fun" in the setup code, instead of simply using
The already defined (and hardware wise more logical) IRQ_IXP4XX_GPIOx values like
I do in arch/arch/mach-ixp4xx/wg302v2-pci.c for example?
