This should go to stable, any idea what versions it should go back to?
Probably whenever the xive code was introduced?

Can you use s64 here and u32 here ....
Instead of calling this opal_xive_allocate_irq_fixup() and relying on
all callers to call the fixup, can we rename the opal wrapper and leave
this function's name unchanged, eg:
-OPAL_CALL(opal_xive_allocate_irq, OPAL_XIVE_ALLOCATE_IRQ);
+OPAL_CALL(opal_xive_allocate_irq_raw, OPAL_XIVE_ALLOCATE_IRQ);

I don't really like the #define and the weird indenting and so on, can
we instead do it like:
/*
* Old versions of skiboot can incorrectly return 0xffffffff to
* indicate no space, fix it up here.
*/
return irq == 0xffffffff ? OPAL_RESOURCE : irq;
cheers
