On powerpc, we establish the mapping at PCI probe time so it's
reasonably stable. In fact, we even try to use virq == hwirq number if
the hwirq number fits and is available though I'm tempted to remove that
"feature" as it can make things more confusing in the end with some
interrupts having matching HW numbers and some not.
Cheers,
Ben.
