I pulled your devicetree/next tree. After this patch I get:

|kernel BUG at /home/bigeasy/work/shiva/git/linux-2.6-tip/arch/x86/kernel/devicetree.c:367!

The warning is comming from this piece in irq_domain_add_legacy()
|for (i = 0; i < size; i++) {
|                 int irq = first_irq + i;
|                 struct irq_data *irq_data = irq_get_irq_data(irq);
| 
|                 if (WARN_ON(!irq_data || irq_data->domain)) {

irq_data is NULL here.

|                         mutex_unlock(&irq_domain_mutex);
|                         of_node_put(domain->of_node);
|                         kfree(domain);
|                         return NULL;
|                 }
|         }
| 

This is not always the case. arch_early_irq_init() in [0] sets up the
first 16 entries. The reminaing few (there is a toal of 24 irqs for
first ioapic and a second ioapic) are not initialized. This happens
later via ->xlate, ioapic_xlate() => io_apic_setup_irq_pin() =>
alloc_irq_and_cfg_at() calls irq_set_chip_data() on demand.
