I'm a bit puzzled by "because the kernel supports them now". Designated
initializers are not purely a C99 feature... it is also a GNU C extension
to C89. This language feature has been used by the kernel for a very long time
(well over a decade).

On other words it would be much more effective to advocate for the
change by saying "because the code is clearer and easier to read" rather
than "because we can".

Shouldn't this just be as follows (in order to match bast_pc104_irqs)?

+static const unsigned char bast_pc104_irqmasks[16] = {
+	[3]  = 1,
+	[5]  = 2,
+	[7]  = 4,
+	[10] = 8,
 };
 
 static const unsigned char bast_pc104_irqs[] = { 3, 5, 7, 10 };
