fixed.

are you sure on that? The relevant part of powerpc's
irq_create_of_mapping() looks like:

| if (host->ops->xlate(host, controller, intspec, intsize,
|                           &hwirq, &type))
|       return NO_IRQ;

so xlate here returns 0 on success and hwirq via a pointer. I do the
same thing here except I return directly virq instead of
irq_hw_number_t. I add powerpc's irq_create_mapping() including virq <->
hwirq mapping once it is generic. I shouldn't need unless we use
non-ioapics are irq controllers.

Okay. So try to get rid of NO_IRQ in my series.
