Just for me: So the check using IS_ERR_VALUE is as wrong as the other
occurences in arch/arm that you just kicked out or is it just ugly?

I thought about it and went the "make irq_base int" route (and even
fixed the asm includes) even before I sent my patch. Just failed to pass
the right hash to format-patch after rebasing :-|
