I mean that if the current domain is a valid doamin, every interrupt 
must have an interrupt status.

If there is no interrupt status, no one can cover the interrupt,
and no one will call 14 irq's desc->handle_irq (handle_level_irq)
and Loongson-2 gpio doesn't have irq status register, so Loongson-2
gpio irqchip shouldn't be implemented.

Hi

I think gpio irq domain should be a normal irq domain that like other 
irq domain. that need a function A to call virq desc handler in gpio irq 
domain.  if no use generic_handler_domain_irq or similar interface,
that will no one to call irq_desc->irq_handler.

"cpuintc -> liointc -> gpioinc -> generic_handle_domain_irq ->
handle_level_irq -> peripheral-action(action->handler)"
