This isn't even supported in Google's common kernel tree. If it's not
important enough for it, why should it be for mainline kernel?

To put it another way, why does goldfish need a special interrupt
controller. Just use one of the many that are already supported in the
kernel and emulated by qemu.

Same comments apply to the RTC patch.
