There are 4 kinds of mappings available; legacy, linear, radix and nomap.

Ignore nomap and radix; you don't want them.

legacy maps a contiguous range of hwirq numbers to a contiguous range of
linux irq numbers. To preserve the exising #define mappings but still add
DT support, this is the one that you want. The downside is that it requires
all the irq_descs to be allocated ahead of time (which probably isn't a
problem for you).

The linear map has a linear reverse map lookup table that allows arbitrary
irq <--> hwirq mappings. This mapping is preferred, but it doesn't work
if you need to preserve #defined irq mappings.
