I think with this approach you get the exact opposite problem; that
is the primary irq_chip doesn't know which IRQs are going to be
demuxed so it cannot know at init time which IRQs need their primary 
handler set. Is the idea that you set_primary_handler for all IRQs,
stash that in the descriptor somewhere and then replace handle_irq
with the primary handler when a demux handler is registered?

I guess I'm missing something here,

Cheers,

Will
