So my patch to select IRQ_DOMAIN for REGMAP_IRQ is correct since 
REGMAP_IRQ now requires IRC_DOMAIN since the commit listed in the 
changelog.

What's fragile is going around and adding "select IRQ_DOMAIN" to 
everything that does "select REGMAP_IRQ".  So I removed that and just made 
IRQ_DOMAIN select REGMAP_IRQ itself.

So can this be merged or what's the issue?
