Oo. I didn't think of that one. tbh, I'm not sure if that is currently supported
because this driver came out of arch/microblaze. And it didn't have any code that
looked supportive of chained interrupt handling.

'Technically', it should be possible to synthesize two daisy chained axi interrupt
controllers on an FPGA. But I don't see it being supported before.

A warning would be nice. Any suggestions on the most suitable way?
