Mark, could you give us a hint how to best go about this shared IRQ?
I failed to find any generic interrupt controller.  I imagine there
should be some fake irqchip we can instantiate from DT giving it a
irq line and a memory address and it should provide us with 32(bit)
demuxed irqs based on status of bits in specified memory location.
Does this sound reasonable?  Does such fake irqchip driver exist?
