Why are you hardcoding a random value instead of bumping the constant
in NR_IRQS?
Because INTCs can organized in many kinds of hierarchy, we cannot use
constants to define a accurate value, but 320 is big enough.

You're not answering my question. You have a parameterized NR_IRQS, and
you're turning it into an absolute constant. Why? I.e:

#define NR_IRQS        (NR_IRQS_LEGACY + NR_MIPS_CPU_IRQS + 296)

And why 320? Why not 512? or 2^15?

As for a "modernized" setup, the fact that you are not using SPARSE_IRQ
is pretty backward.
