Well, the description of the MPIC in the Armada XP functional spec says:

"Interrupt sources ID0–ID28 are private events per CPU. Thus, each
processor has a different set of events map interrupts ID0–ID28."

Odd grammar aside, that would seem to imply that <&mpic 3> is a per-cpu
interrupt itself, thus AFAICS so long as it's cascaded to a GIC PPI and
not an SPI then there's no issue there.

Robin.
