Ok, I missed the point that you also have real machine check events
to care about.
One issue remains though: you still need to have a virtual irq number,
not just make up a IRQ, as there is nothing that guarantees this to work.
Since you already create your own irq_host, you can probably just
give the fake irq the number '1' here, which is local to that host.
Then you call irq_create_mapping() to create the virtual interrupt
number that you pass to the platform_device.
