While trying to get my remoteproc driver work with this I uncovered a 
problem with this approach.

mips-gic doesn't store the actual hwirq in the irq_data. It uses 
GIC_SHARED_TO_HWIRQ() and GIC_HWIRQ_TO_SHARED() to add and remove an offset.

I'll add a new chip function irq_get_raw_hwirq(struct irq_data *d) that 
will return the real hardware value of hwirq. If not defined, I'll 
revert back to using the irqd_to_hwirq().

Objections?
