I asked Lee to put it in ;-)

The problem is that we cannot put the interrupt resources into the platform
device until the irq domain has been added. Right now, we set the gic
interrupt domain from init_IRQ(), then add the load the gpio
driver from core_initcall(nmk_gpio_init) and add the platform devices
from arch_initcall(customize_machine).

This feels fragile because it depends on the gpio device getting probed
before any device using the gpio interrupts. It does seem to work fine
right now, but I'm not convinced that this is just coincidence.
