Probably true in this case.

I hope that's not true; grep'ing the entire of drivers/ shows a bunch
of drivers calling this function, and many look like they'd be reasonable
as module.

that function after setting up any child/cascaded IRQs, and I assume
that irq_chips can be in modules.

The driver appears to work fine with this removed. At least, on Tegra20
Harmony, I was able to modprobe ehci-hcd and then use the USB Ethernet
controller for DHCP and SSH.
