It's looping over possible cpus (per the kernel configuration for max
cpus) so it's expected that a system with fewer cpus will also have
fewer reg ranges for the aic. This is not an error. If you think
there's a different/better way I should write this code, I'm open to
suggestions.

OK. I can add that.

OK.

There's a global imask in the cpu that masks all interrupts that's
used in the trap entry point, spinlocks, etc. already. This is a cpu
standard feature and not logically part of the AIC. My understanding
is that the kernel already keeps a logical mask of disabled irqs in
addition to mask/disable at the irqchip level so there's a fairly fast
path for ignoring/holding (potentially spurious) irqs while they're
supposed to be disabled and deferring them until they're enabled
again.
