While this will work, it will mess up userspace accounting of the
number of interrupts per second in tools such as vmstat. The reason
is that for every GPIO interrupt, /proc/interrupts records the count
against GIC interrupt 68 or 69, as well as the GPIO itself. So, for
every GPIO interrupt, the total number of interrupts that the system
has seen increments by two.

If we don't care about accurate interrupt statistics, then this is
fine, but I think it should be mentioned in the commit message.
