To be honest, we don't care very much.  Parisc interrupts are cascading
and mostly software assigned (except our EIEM which we keep internal).
We use a base offset at 16 or 64 (depending on GSC presence or not) so
IRQs 0-15 aren't legal on parisc either (we frob some of the hard coded
ISA interrupts on the WAX eisa bus).

We use NO_IRQ as an IRQ assignment error return and that's about it (and
that error shouldn't ever really occur).
