I understand but... see below

why not ? IPI is a hardware construct afterall.

Anyhow I looked in arch/arm and do_IPI/handle_IPI are the handlers. do_IPI is
called from asm, irq-gic.c calls handle_IPI. I can't seem to find an explicit
request_irq / request_percpu_irq for IPI irq ?

Following works for me, hopefully it is closer to 21st century code :-)

Subject: [PATCH] ARC: [intc-*] Do a domain lookup in primary handler for hwirq
 -> linux virq

The primary interrupt handler arch_do_IRQ() was passing hwirq as linux
virq to core code. This was fragile and worked so far as we only had legacy/linear
domains.

This came out of a rant by Marc Zyngier.
