On a fully DT-ified platform, using non-legacy irqdomains, virtual interrupts are allocated as a "random" number, depending on the order of allocation, and on demand.
The first_irq hack in irq_domain_add_simple() is just a way to still allocate descriptors upfront (and I wish we could drop it...).
If you have legacy code that "knows" about the relationship between Linux's virtual interrupt and the hwirq (that is only meaningful to the interrupt controller), you're screwed, and need to stick to the legacy irqdomain.
It feels like the MIPS code is squarely in the latter case, so I guess this patch is probably the wrong thing to do for this architecture.
Thanks,
