Particularly given the existing DT bindings we have, I actually think
this is a good way to go.  This is internal to the hardware module about
how its features map to interrupt lines that leave the hardware module
(which are exposed in DT appropriately).

I thought about "what if we had the last interrupt line hooked up to a
different interrupt handler that read out and decided which channels to
wake up", but this seems much simpler.
