Yeah looks like they don't currently. I think the idea was to return a
malloc()ed string so the source could label the interrupts them based
on the source name. It's not needed for the PSI since there's only one
and you can use the HWIRQ number to work out what chip it's from, but
for the PHBs it's good to be able to differentiate since otherwise you
have a sea of interrupts labelled "PHB Error". Granted we don't have
the PHB error interrupts wired up at the moment, but it's something
I'll get around to eventually.

I suppose we could just generate them before registering the source.
