SGIs are 0 to 15, PPIs are 16 to 31, and SPIs are 32+ - that's the
numbering given to us by the GIC.

That depends whether you're counting SPI number or whether you're counting
IRQ number in the GIC interfaces.  SPI0 will be reported to us from the
GIC as 32, not 0, so to start numbering from 0 (which is already frowned
upon for many reasons) we'd have to subtract 32 after checking that the
IRQ is not a SGI nor PPI in the assembly code instead.
