Apologies if I've missed information about your hardware in the other
discussion (I've tried to keep up) - does your hardware raise a single host
interrupt for each pin regardless to which bridge they come in on - or do you
separate A,B,C,D host interrupts for each bridge?

If you have only 4 interrupt sources for legacy interrupts then you shouldn't
need to care which bus/device/function they were generated on (of_pci_map_irq
takes care of this for you).

During enumeration an interrupt number should be assigned to each requesting
device which reflects the pin (after swizzling) which will arrive at the host
bridges. That interrupt number should be shared across all devices that
requested the same pin (after swizzling) - i.e. shared interrupts. So all you
need to do is map A,B,C,D interrupts with the interrupt they come into the 
CPU.
