The default irq domain allows legacy code to create irqdomain mappings without having to track the domain it is allocating from. Setting the default domain is a one shot, fire and forget operation, and no effort was made to be able to retrieve this information at a later point in time. Newer irqdomain APIs (the hierarchical stuff) relies on both the irqchip code to track the irqdomain it is allocating from, as well as some form of firmware abstraction to easily identify which piece of HW maps to which irq domain (DT, ACPI). For systems without such firmware (or legacy platform that are getting dragged into the 21st century), things are a bit harder. For these cases (and these cases only!), let's provide a way to retrieve the default domain, allowing the use of the v2 API without having to resort to platform-specific hacks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
