Add ->retrigger() irq op to consolidate hw_irq_resend() implementations.
(Most architectures had it defined to NOP anyway.)
NOTE: ia64 needs testing. i386 and x86_64 tested.

This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding
various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing
functionality.
While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the
generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many
smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is
the new 'irq chip' abstraction.
The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller
driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a
straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow"
(level/edge/etc.) type of details.
This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq
architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details.
The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and
converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design.
As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers
(master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well.
The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code
and more consolidation between architectures.
We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ
layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset.
This patch:
rename desc->handler to desc->chip.
Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch. But having
both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a
large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it
truly is.
I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a
desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke
frequently.
So lets get over with this quickly. The conversion was done automatically
via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel.
This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the
remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up
without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

Use __do_IRQ instead. The only difference is that every controller
is now assumed to have an end() routine (only xics_8259 did not).

This is a bunch of mostly small fixes that are needed to get
ARCH=powerpc to compile for 64-bit. This adds setup_64.c from
arch/ppc64/kernel/setup.c and locks.c from arch/ppc64/lib/locks.c.

Merged hw_irq.h between ppc32 & ppc64. Added support to use the Book-E
wrtee[i] instructions that allow modifying MSR[EE] atomically.
Additionally, added get_irq_desc() macros to ppc32 to allow mask_irq(),
unmask_irq(), and ack_irq() to be common between ppc32 & ppc64.
Note: because 64-bit Book-E implementations only have a 32-bit MSR the
macro's for Book-E need to come before the PPC64 macro's to ensure the
right thing happends for 64-bit Book-E processors.
