What are the architecture dependencies here?

This unconditionally acknowledges the interrupt even if one wasn't
reported by the device.

This is rather an abuse of the resource API and will run into trouble on
device tree based systems.  You should use platform data for non-DT
systems.

Suggest using request_any_context_irq() to increase the range of
supported interrupt controllers.

This will be done for you by the driver core.
