Okay, actually this isn't so easy. Currently we have:

During DT boot:
 - No platform data is passed, hence no IRQ base for AB8500 is either
 - No IRQ base means we register a Linear IRQ Domain
 - MFD sees there is no base and leaves the IRQ resource as a hwirq
 - AB8500 child devices use *_get_virq() to convert the hwirq to a virq

During non-DT boot:
 - Platform data is passed, which contains an IRQ base
 - If an IRQ base is requested we use it to register a Legacy IRQ Domain
 - MFD adds the IRQ base to the hwirq and registers it as a virq
 - AB8500 child devices use *_get_virq() to convert virq to virq - *ERROR*

I guess my suggestion falls-back to placing logic in *_get_virq() to only
call irq_create_mapping() when when !ab8500->irq_base.
