Sounds good.

I would prefer to send a separate patch for this on top of the
$subject one, unless Alexandre wants me to do it all in one go.

Alexandre, what's your preference here?  Or would you prefer if I
pushed this forward?

OK

Probably.

In that case, though, it would be prudent to also explicitly discard
IRQ resources where start is equal to 0.
