I was trying to stay consistent with the remainder of the code. PowerPC
is a pretty heavy user of NO_IRQ. Of all 348 references, more than half
(182) are in arch/powerpc, so I'd rather like to get a go-ahead from
Benjamin on this.

That said, perhaps we should just go all the way and get rid of NO_IRQ
for good. Things could get somewhat messy, though. There are a couple of
these spread through the code:

	#ifndef NO_IRQ
	#define NO_IRQ (-1)
	#endif

And this isn't very encouraging either:

	$ git grep 'irq.*=.*-1' | wc -l
	638
