And all of them are wrong and need to be removed.  :-)  We're /slowly/
getting rid of the -1 and the usage of NO_IRQ. A global search and
replace of s/NO_IRQ/0/g can be very safely done on arch/powerpc since
powerpc has had NO_IRQ set correctly to '0' for a very long time now.

So, yes, if you're keen to do it I'd love to see a series getting rid of
more NO_IRQ users.
