Subject: [PATCH 09/12] irqdomain: Reserve IRQs for legacy domain

It is really important to make sure irqs used by the legacy domain are
still reserved in the irq_desc subsystem so they don't get allocated
for some other purpose.  Without SPARSE_IRQ, this generally isn't a
problem because it is assumed that all irqs have static assignments
(which isn't actually true, and is part of the reason why SPARSE_IRQ
should really be turned on these days).  However, when SPARSE_IRQs is
turned on, the irq range passed to irq_domain_add_legacy() is not
guaranteed to be reserved.

This patch fixes the problem by unconditionally reserving any irqs
passed into irq_domain_add_legacy().  The irqs may have already been
reserved, so the return code on irq_reserve_irqs() may report a
failure, but it should still be safe.
