There are concerns from the irqchip maintainers that unloading an irqchip
controller is a bad idea. We had a lot of previous discussions on this topic.

But I would certainly welcome the idea of building a controller driver as a
module (tristate) and prevent unloading it during runtime (by keeping it as
builtin_platform_driver).

No need to base your patches on top of linux-next. Either do it on top of -rc1
or pci/next.
