Actually, I think we won't need to call pci_fixup_irqs for DT at all, so
there won't be host specific swizzle and map_irq functions. AFAICT the
interrupt-map property can handle all possible cases, it certainly does
so for a large number of obscure buses on powerpc.

Please have a look at drivers/of/of_pci_irq.c to see if you can spot
anything missing in there. The interrupt-map lets you define a mapping
from a bus-specific interrupt number to a global one, with an address/mask
of the bus/dev/fn ID of the device(s) it applies to. For anything with
default swizzling, we just provide the map for the root dev, while those
devices that require a more complex mapping need to list each IRQ line
that is connected differently. See arch/powerpc/boot/dts/mpc5121ads.dts
for an example with a nonstandard mapping.

Right. We can have a default ones for mmconfig and PIO 0xcfc in drivers/pci,
but I think most will have a separate one on ARM.
