This is Bartosz territory, but the gpio-mockup.c driver will insert
IRQs into the system, he went and added really core stuff
into kernel/irq to make this happen. Notice that in Kconfig
it does:

select IRQ_SIM

Then this is used:
include/linux/irq_sim.h

This is intended for simulating IRQs and both GPIO and IIO use it.
I think this inserts IRQs from debugfs and I have no idea how
flexible that is.

If it is suitable for what you want to do I don't know but it's
virtio so...
