I guess this is fairly subjective, but the inner/outer thing does click
with me.

I think the "issue" with the top / bottom wording is that existing data
structures (domain / irq_data hierarchy) bias my interpretation of it, but
it's upside down from the irq_chip stack representation. That's not the
case of inner / outer where all I can think of is the actual chip layout
(i.e. as an image of the distance from the CPUs).

Anyway, that's enough psychoanalysis from me, the patches look fine - I
also reran my quick rtcwake test on GICv2 (tests the WAKEUP_ARMED
path). Feel free to add
