Indeed, interrupt-map might not fit here. I don't know whether your
custom property - purely for runtime performance purpose - will be
accepted. Initial description of this field suggested that it is OS
policy, not hardware choice. But sure, propose something with
justification, so we can review it. The proposal must not break ABI, so
you must support both parent_int_map and parent-int-map (or whatever we
call it) properties. The first we will probably deprecate.

The way this property was sneaked into kernel bypassing review is still
disappointing.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
