And also arm64 at the least.

Actually, powerpc seems to be the only OF platform reimplementing this function.
s390 and x86 are not OF platforms.

Don't forget that my patchset aims to replace existing house-made code with a more
generic version. When architectures and platforms switch to my code they will have
to add this back in their code if it's needed.

Well, it will become necessary as old code gets dismantled and converted towards
this patchset. To give you an example that I'm familiar with, for arch/arm the
host bridge drivers have moved into drivers/pci/host, but they still depend/use
the bios32 infrastructure that takes care of setting up the irq. When they switch
to my version they would have to go and debug the "irq not being assigned" issue
and it is quite likely that some of the people doing the conversion will complain
about my code rather than understanding the issue. What I'm trying to do is to
make switching to my patchset as painless as possible, with a cleanup to remove
redundant operations coming after the switchover.

Does that sound like a reasonable plan?
