You create your own local irq domain (in the DT sense, not the Linux sense)
by using #interrrupt-cells = <1> or more, and then use whatever input data
you have available.

Ideally there would be registers that you can use to look up a token
you use (like the BCMA_MIPS_MIPS74K_INTMASK), if you don't have them
here, just use the local index, and pass that down to bcma_core_irq(),
from where you put it into the of_phandle_args.
