OK, so I think what I posted yesterday does that (updated for slightly 
better naming) and with a description.  In the spirit of fairness 
iterating over the VIC's this way seemed right to me.

/*
 * Handle each interrupt in a single VIC.  Returns non-zero if we've 
 * handled at least one interrupt.  This does a single read of the 
 * status register and handles all interrupts in order from LSB first.
 */
static int handle_one_vic(struct vic_device *vic,
			  struct pt_regs *regs)
{
	u32 stat, irq;
	int handled = 0;

	stat = readl_relaxed(vic->base + VIC_IRQ_STATUS);
	while (stat) {
		irq = ffs(stat) - 1;
		handle_IRQ(irq_domain_to_irq(&vic->domain, irq), regs);
		stat &= ~(1 << irq);
		handled = 1;
	}

	return handled;
}

/*
 * Keep iterating over all registered VIC's until there are no pending 
 * interrupts.
 */
asmlinkage void __exception_irq_entry vic_handle_irq(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
	int i, handled;

	do {
		for (i = 0, handled = 0; i < vic_id; ++i)
			handled |= vic_single_handle_irq(&vic_devices[i],
							 regs))
	} while (handled);
}
