Interrupts and GPIO specifiers are different in subtle ways. The interrupt
parent for mmc0 is an AIC, which is also the ultimate parent of the GPIO
controller. But the properties for the GPIO pins that act as interrupts and
the interrupt specifiers are different.

I suspect that either I don't understand the issue, or we'll have such boards
very quickly. The Atmel design is fairly clean in comparison to other
franken-horrors
I've seen...
