I should maybe add: one issue that was raised during review of my
initial patch series was that we'll also need to cope with situations
like the following:

	1) device's interrupt parent is probed (assigned IRQ base X)
	2) device is probed (interrupt parent there, therefore gets
	   assigned IRQ (X + z)
	3) device in removed
	4) device's interrupt parent is removed
	5) device is probed (deferred because interrupt parent isn't
	   there)
	6) device's interrupt parent is probed (assigned IRQ base Y)
	7) device is probed, gets assigned IRQ (Y + z)

So not only do we have to track which resources are interrupt resources,
but we also need to have them reassigned everytime the device is probed,
therefore interrupt mappings need to be properly disposed and the values
invalidated when probing is deferred or the device removed.

Having a dynamic list of properties all of a sudden doesn't sound like
such a bad idea after all. It makes handling this kind of situation
rather trivial, especially per-type lists. Those lists will be empty at
first and populated during the first probe. When probing fails or when a
device is unloaded, we dispose the mappings and empty the lists, so that
subsequent probes will start from scratch. It certainly sounds like a
bit of a waste of CPU cycles, but on the other hand it makes the code
much simpler.
