Currently, when calling irq_domain_alloc_irqs() on ARM64, it uses
struct of_phandle_args to pass irq information. However, this is not
appropriate for ACPI since of_phandle_args is specific to DT.
Therefore, this patch introduces a new function pointer,
irq_domain_ops.init_alloc_info, which can be used by irqchips to provide
a way to initialize irqchip-specific data-structure for allocating IRQ.

NOTE:
Similarly, x86 is currently using struct irq_alloc_info
(see arch/x86/include/asm/hw_irq.h) and each irq_domain has different
way of initializing this structure.
And why don't you use the same mechanism on ARM and have a private
irq_alloc_info implementation which can carry either DT or ACPI
information?
Let me look further into this. I would like to take a similar approach here.
