I think Grant is referring to the similarity with hwirq. Check:
include/linux/irqdomain.h
For example GPIO drivers using irqdomain often look up the
trigging local GPIO pin offset from the irqdomain descriptor
passed with the interrupt like this:
static void foo_gpio_irq_unmask(struct irq_data *d)
int offset = d->hwirq;
(...)
Maybe "hwgpio" is an even better choice for the name of this.
