Yes, but I think its acceptible given that it makes sense to me to define the
irq_remap_broken flag in the common driver code.  We can certainly move the
header around, but I'd much rather do that in a separate patch.

No.  This was discussed previously, and the consensus was that we
can use a generic name, should other chips have simmilarly broken functionality.

Um, yes?  I think you mean to say its not needed, since all the users of this
check are only in code thats compiled conditionally with CONFIG_IRQ_REMAP.
You're correct, but I like to have it there for completness, should that change
in the future.
