IMHO exporting both (the struct and the functions independently) makes
sense.
The struct can be used by drivers that have a standard behaviour for
both xslate and map functions, and functions (irq_map_generic_chip or
irq_domain_xlate_onetwocell) could be used when only one end of the
implementation is standard.

BTW, shouldn't we declare irq_generic_chip_ops as a const instance to
prevent users from modifying its content ?

Sure.

Thanks for your help.
