(side note: I think you want handle_domain_irq())

That will only return an irq number that is a multiple of four, which
seems wrong since the numbers are not that. Did you mean to write

	hwirq = ilog2(hwirq);   ?

That assumes that REG_AIC_IPER contains a 32-bit value with one single
bit set to indicate which IRQ was triggered.

If the difference is only in performance, you could try measuring which
of the two ends up being faster.
