This is now broken on ARM where, for good or bad, NO_IRQ currently is
used and is -1.

How do we resolve it?  If we are ready to eliminate NO_IRQ from
drivers/of/irq.c (or indeed, all code that uses it) and just use 0 for
that case, we should surely just do it... but I'm not confident I can
judge on that.

Half-removing NO_IRQ is going to be problematic, though...
I really don't care whether the "no irq" value is 0 or -1, but it is
abundantly clear that choosing different values to mean the same thing
on opposite sides of an interface does not work.
