irqdomain: Add a fwnode_handle allocator
In order to be able to reference an irqdomain from ACPI, we need to be able to create an identifier, which is usually a struct device_node. This device node does't really fit the ACPI infrastructure, so we cunningly allocate a new structure containing a fwnode_handle, and return that. This structure doesn't really point to a device (interrupt controllers are not "real" devices in Linux), but as we cannot really deny that they exist, we create them with a new fwnode_type (FWNODE_IRQCHIP).
