There is nothing random about it.  The ARM architects specified that 
there is exactly One True GIC in a system.  If we need to do something 
with the GIC, it is not a "random ... unsuspecting interrupt 
controller", it is *The* GIC.

Agreed.

The MSI system has pci_enable_msix()/pci_disable_msix().

I would propose something like:

struct gic_spi_entry {
	int spi   /* SPI number */
	int irq;  /* kernel irq number mapped to the spi*/
	u32 msg;  /* message to be written */
	u64 assert_addr;
	u64 deassert_addr;
};

/* Fill in the SPI processing information */
int gic_map_spi(int spi, struct gic_spi_entry *data);
