I wonder if you could just model the FIQ as a single shared level interrupt
(which is essentially what it is), and have every driver that uses it do a
request_irq() on the same IRQ number.

This would avoid having to come up with a fake binding for it, and simplify
the implementation that then no longer has to peek into each interrupt
source.
