Sorry about the delayed response...

This check effectively filters out GPIO controllers.  Any GPIO-sourced
interrupts route through the GPIO controller's interrupt, and need not
apply for map_irq_to_domain().  Devices requiring GPIO-based
interrupts would need to be passed through with the associated
controller (or maybe virtualize the GPIO routing?).
