This has occurred before, for example on the MAL device on 440EP (see
the bamboo board dts for example).  The semi-standard approach is to
make the node an interrupt-nexus for itself.  That is in the node's
interrupts property, just list 0..N giving as many interrupts as you
need.  Set the node's interrupt-parent to point to the node itself,
then add interrupt-map and interrupt-map-mask properties which remap
those interrupts 0..N to the correct interrupts on the actual
interrupt controllers.  Each entry in the interrupt map specifies an
interrupt parent phandle, so you can distribute the irqs to multiple
interrupt controllers that way.
