What kernel version are you using? Are you using arch/ppc or arch/powerpc? There has been a major shift in embedded powerpc support in the last year. Now, instead of hard coding the peripheral list in the platform code, the devices are described in an OpenFirmware style device tree. (See arch/powerpc/boot/dts/lite5200b.dts). You need to add a node to the tree for your device and specify the interrupt there. Then use either of_irq_map_one() or irq_of_parse_and_map() to get something that you can pass to request_irq().
