It would have to be a (host, hwirq) pair.  A "hwirq" has no meaning by
itself, since in general we can have multiple interrupt controllers
and they will each have their own space of interrupt numbers.

There is no point trying to fake things up in the .dts so that you get
virq numbers that you expect.  The numbers in the .dts should be the
controller-relative "hwirq" numbers.
