The way I understand irq_alloc_descs() (probably not very well) is that 
having the irq parameter < 0 and the from parameter 16 means that it 
needs to find domain->nr_irq descs starting from at least 16.  But if 
the base is greater than 16, does this still work with the gic entry 
macros as they are?
