Actually I'm not sure if I understand you correctly.

If I use GPIO8 (presumably in different places) I have to remember what
it is. This may be use with a couple of IRQ lines but gets harder and
harder with a more complicated machine. Macros like SLOT0_INTA etc.
don't have this problem. That's BTW why macros and symbolic names were
invented.

But you've seen the patches I just posted, haven't you?
