Frankly, I'd really like to see ACPI using the "node" parameter for
something useful. This would save having to cache pointers all over the
place, will make find_irq_host() work as expected... etc.

See the comment at the top of linux/irqdomain.h :

"... This code could thus be used on other architectures by replacing
those two by some sort of arch-specific void * "token" used to identify
interrupt controllers."

Maybe it is time to bite the bullet.
