Well, link it with twl-core, call it as a subroutine,
add some kind of header to hold the subroutine decl.
Not unlike the linkage structure "today".
Right now I'm thinking the {core, irq, "power"} structure
will be OK, if the "irq" gets generalized so it's not just
the one SIH module (which I have, partially done) ... and
the "power" bits lose the board-specific stuff.

We'll know when/if this is used on non-OMAP hardware!
Likely not soon. I'd like to have the code build cleanly
on most hardware, so we get the build fixes and API update
that implies. That's mostly IRQ cleanup. Board designers
will do what they want, and I suspect you're right there.
