Yes, that's how dt users use irq.  But since I'm trying to make the
imx gpio irq_domain as linear for both non-dt and dt users.  Calling
irq_create_mapping here may make sense for me, since it will not
require all these non-dt users change the way they use gpio irq.

Even for dt users, there may have some case that can not work in the
way we expect.

	soc {
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <1>;
		compatible = "simple-bus";
		interrupt-parent = <&tzic>;
		ranges;

		esdhc@70008000 { /* ESDHC2 */
			compatible = "fsl,imx51-esdhc";
			reg = <0x70008000 0x4000>;
			interrupts = <2>;
			cd-gpios = <&gpio1 6 0>;
			wp-gpios = <&gpio1 5 0>;
		};
	};

In above SD example, irq_of_parse_and_map will just work out the SD
controller internal irq to tzic.  How can we work out the card-detection
irq to gpio controller in the same way?
