Zero is not a valid IRQ number in the kernel (except in arch specific
depths). IRQ numbers are also *unsigned* so -1 isn't a safe definition.

Zero means no IRQ. If any old UIO code is assuming otherwise it wants
fixing.

It is the job of the platform to map a physical IRQ 0 to some other
representation if it exists outside of arch specific code. This was
decided some years ago and a large part of the kernel simply doesn't
support any notion of a real IRQ 0.
