Right. That ARCH_HAS_DEVTREE_MEM thing really shouldn't be in this
patch since it is implemented only so that powertv can override them.
Instead, it should be in another patch so it can be reviewed
separately. I'll remove.

All of the IRQ mapping infrastructure is the biggest current missing
piece needed for the device tree architecture to be nicely cross
platform. This map function is definitely a hack, but it is a stop
gap until a port or write a cross architecture irq mapping code so
that each irq controller can claim a different slice of the irq number
space and be able to resolve it to interrupt-controller device tree nodes.

I'm happy to drop the debugfs bits from this patch.
