I'm a bit confused by this. If those non-boot CPUs INTC doesn't have
an IRQ domain, why are the downstream interrupt controllers listing
these non-boot CPU INTCs as an upstream interrupt controller?

This is more of a question of the existing behavior that this patch,
but this patch highlights the existing oddity.
