I think they have different purpose.
irq_domain_mapping is an overiew of the mapping of each virq to hwirq
and the domain it belongs. It likes a map or index of each IRQs. I tend
to suggest to keep it.
The nodes under debugfs irq/domains describes the hierarchy of each irq
domain.
The nodes under debugfs irq/irqs describes information of every single
irq.


Thanks
