Currently, the goal is to get rid of the singleton nature
of NR_IRQS. Then it just becomes a property of the
platform, and the arm common code should not see this define.
This cleanup has to be done across multiple SoCs, not just OMAP.

After I get to complete some meaningful cleanup of NR_IRQS,
I can look into the static defines that you mention.

Best regards,
Venkat.
