Yes, My SMP code does a request_irq on the result of create_mapping.
Here is my smp.c code and it use a result of create_mapping by arch_ipi_irq_mapping()
callback in irq-csky-mpintc.c

void __init setup_smp_ipi(void)
{
	int rc;

	ipi_irq = arch_ipi_irq_mapping();
	if (ipi_irq == 0)
		panic("%s IRQ mapping failed\n", __func__);

	rc = request_percpu_irq(ipi_irq, handle_ipi, "IPI Interrupt",
				&ipi_dummy_dev);
	if (rc)
		panic("%s IRQ request failed\n", __func__);

	enable_smp_ipi();
}
