OK though I understood that you were OK with using the irq_default_domain.

This means that arch code must parse the DT for an IPI domain. I think 
I've seen arch code using the root FDT to search for a specific node. 
I'll try to do something similar to search for an IPI domain.

Right I missed that. I'll fix it.

OK I'll expand on that.
