So far, the only way i can figure out is to add following in the 
arch/arm/include/asm/gpio.h

static inline int arm_irq_to_gpio(unsigned int irq)
{
return -EINVAL;
}

#ifndef irq_to_gpio
#define irq_to_gpio arm_irq_to_gpio
#endif

And remove all irq_to_gpio() function definitions in the arch/arm/, if 
mach want a specific irq_to_gpio, they can use macro to define their own.

Hui.
