I completely agree on the irq_domain thing. The reason I introduced two
functions is to keep things as similar as possible to the old
implementation, and also to save a memory reference + addition on the
hot path of all the other platforms.

If we all agree that keeping that piece of code as generic as possible
is the way forward, then I'll happily drop that patch and let Exynos4
use the same handler.

Cheers,
