Ok, I agree. But IIRC the multi-irq handler is only needed, if you
compile both DT and non-DT in one kernel, right?

Dove DT just left mach-dove, so there is no way you can compile both.
For the sake of simplicity, I'd even agree on adding it now and
remove it later again. But at least for Dove, the move is bogus.
