I don't see where it gets added. Do you mean "[RFC part2 PATCH 8/9] ACPI /
ARM64: Update acpi_register_gsi to register with the core IRQ subsystem"?
That still just uses a single domain.

When we talked about ACPI support at Linaro connect, someone mentioned
that the ACPI spec does have the concept of IRQ domains, but it seems
they are not implemented by Linux.

How do you get a mapping for an IRQ on a secondary irqchip such as
a GPIO extender?
