Yeah, I was just pointing out common practice on ARM (sparse IRQ isn't
widely enough deployed there :/ ).

Would it be worth having sparse_irq change the default NR_IRQS to be
something suitably large - there doesn't seem any point in having
platforms using it each pick their own particular definition of insanely
high? I'll take a look and cook up a patch unless I can spot anything
silly about that by myself.
