Currently, the goal is to get rid of the singleton nature of NR_IRQS. Then it just becomes a property of the platform, and the arm common code should not see this define. This cleanup has to be done across multiple SoCs, not just OMAP. After I get to complete some meaningful cleanup of NR_IRQS, I can look into the static defines that you mention.
