Yes, thanks

this judgment has been done in
 /*Check if mapping already exists*/
virq = irq_find_mapping(domain, hwirq);

if the virq equals none zero, the func irq_create_mapping will 
return the virq value directly(already exists).

otherwise, that means virq equals zero, this has two meanings, one is
haven't find the already exist mapping, the other one is in
irq_find_mapping()
	case IRQ_DOMAIN_MAP_LEGACY:
		return irq_domain_legacy_revmap(domain, hwirq); 
this may return zero.

So, when we check if it is a IRQ_DOMAIN_MAP_LEGACY, we just return zero
is OK. because if it is none zero, it will be return after check if
mapping already exists, and never come here. also we never try to assign
the virq for the legacy map.

I don't know if you have understand my explanation.

Thanks 
Mike
