I.e. turning irq_dispose_mapping() into nop, and __-prefixed
(private) variant would actually dispose irq mapping?

The nop part is important, because otherwise having no cleanup
variant of an allocation/mapping routine feels odd and might raise
questions by non-ppc people (e.g. subsystem maintainers when they
see no cleanup path for such a call).

And if we'll want to refcount irq mappings in the future, some
drivers will be ready without modifications, i.e. the ones that
got irq_dispose_mapping() wrong:

$ git grep irq_dispose drivers/ | wc -l
42
