You mean, something like this:

root@flakes:/sys/kernel/debug/irq# ls -l domains/
total 0
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 default
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 gpio@e0080000
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 gpio@e1050000
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 interrupt-controller@e1101000
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 v2m@e0080000-2
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 v2m@e0080000-3
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 v2m@e0080000-4
root@flakes:/sys/kernel/debug/irq# grep -r v2m@e0080000-2 irqs/| cut -f1 -d:
irqs/49
irqs/48
irqs/47
irqs/46
irqs/45
irqs/44
irqs/43
irqs/42
irqs/41
