I believe all the Kirkwood boards that have been converted to the
Device Tree now use a driver in drivers/irqchip/ for IRQ handling, and
therefore use all the modern irqdomain stuff.

I do have a bunch of other patches to convert more Kirkwood boards to
DT (needs more work), and once that's done, we can throw away the
legacy IRQ handling for Kirkwood.

Best regards,

Thomas
