I looked into the code a bit more, it seems ipu uses its own special irq mapping
between virt irq and hw/dma_chan irq itself and the mapping is dynamically
and limited to how many CONFIG_MX3_IPU_IRQS defined.
No sure it's so suitable to convert to irqdomain.
With adding irqdomain, i wonder we may need change this mechanism a bit.

For now, i'm ok to put that work in another patch later and using the original
way first since the later patch may need to do more things, so
