Right, I was thinking about the effects of changing this stuff after the
sparse IRQ commit.  But you're right, it can be done before that.

What does need to happen is the fixing of NR_IRQS etc needs to be part
of the very same commit which enables sparse IRQ.

I'll take your word for it, and if you want to throw the relevant commits
at the patch system, I'll merge them into the enormous sa11x0 branch. I
need to drop the asoc branch out of it before the next merge window though
as I'm not planning to push that just yet.
