Yeah. Since we're switching to tree IRQs we can use the raw hardware
event as the hwirq, and save some cycles munging fields, but we still
need a place for FIQ hwirq numbers to live. Zero here means "no
IRQ/spurious" to the hardware, so it's a convenient place to stick FIQs.
Note that the top-level IRQ handler function does check this field, so
even if newer hardware starts doing something silly here (which I highly
doubt...) it would never end up forwarded to the IRQ domain code without
further code changes.

Ack, I'll add a helper. It's extracting the IRQ number field from the
hwirq number. This is relatively trivial at this point in the patch set
(where the only other field is the constant type = 1), but it makes more
sense once I add the die field later on.

Yes, it should be the case by construction; this can just be an else.
I'll change it.
