What's the point of a struct with a single member? Why not having an
array of base pointers ?

How is that different from what the generic irq chip implementation
does? The only difference is that mask is generated by d->hwirq and
not by d->irq. And due to the fact, that you use a full linear mapping
between hwirq and virq the generic code simply works.
Even if it would not work, it would be trivial to extend the generic
chip with that functionality instead of hacking another slightly
different copy of the same thing.
