Marc Zyngier has pointed out that inverters should be modeled
using hierarchichal irq domains. You would need to add a new
irqchip to invert the line.

See this PDF:
https://elinux.org/images/8/8c/Zyngier.pdf

drivers/irqchips/irq-uniphier-aidet.c supports inversion of IRQs
for example. For this it uses irq_domain_create_hierarchy()

I guess it would be helpful with a reusable generic "inverter
irq chip", that you can just enable and slam into your device
tree to tell the system that a line is statically inverted, i.e.
non-programmable logic on the board.
