Do we have to do this?

Putting architecture specific knowledge into a device driver is almost
never a good thing to do.  If all you want to do is print out the IRQ
designation, I suspect this is a generic problem, not a sym2 specific
problem, so what we need is something like an irq_to_string()
abstraction.
