Not quite.  Interrupts in GPIO input pins are optional.

There are existing GPIO-driven keypad drivers - have a look in
drivers/input/keyboard/.

You request the interrupt only for the specific GPIO pin(s) you're
using.  You don't request all PIOA interrupts.
ie, do the following:
   request_irq(AT91_PIN_PA2, ...)
