    [POWERPC] Add new interrupt mapping core and change platforms to use it · 0ebfff14
    Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
    This adds the new irq remapper core and removes the old one.  Because
    there are some fundamental conflicts with the old code, like the value
    of NO_IRQ which I'm now setting to 0 (as per discussions with Linus),
    etc..., this commit also changes the relevant platform and driver code
    over to use the new remapper (so as not to cause difficulties later
    in bisecting).
    
    This patch removes the old pre-parsing of the open firmware interrupt
    tree along with all the bogus assumptions it made to try to renumber
    interrupts according to the platform. This is all to be handled by the
    new code now.
    
    For the pSeries XICS interrupt controller, a single remapper host is
    created for the whole machine regardless of how many interrupt
    presentation and source controllers are found, and it's set to match
    any device node that isn't a 8259.  That works fine on pSeries and
    avoids having to deal with some of the complexities of split source
    controllers vs. presentation controllers in the pSeries device trees.
    
    The powerpc i8259 PIC driver now always requests the legacy interrupt
    range. It also has the feature of being able to match any device node
    (including NULL) if passed no device node as an input. That will help
    porting over platforms with broken device-trees like Pegasos who don't
    have a proper interrupt tree.
