I just realized that we already have this function in
arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c and arch/ia64/kernel/acpi.c it is called:
acpi_gsi_to_irq()

We still need this implementation but it will get really confusing if
we have two functions with the same name trying to do the same job.

I am relieved to see this because this should mean we shouldn't have
many hard fixed assumptions that irq == gsi.

This does mean though that your patch has a real bug in it because
you have not updated acpi_gsi_to_irq.
