Few architectures combine the GIC with an external interrupt
controller. On such systems it may be necessary to update both
the GIC registers and the external controller's registers to control
IRQ behavior.
This can be addressed in couple of possible methods.
1. Export common GIC routines along with 'struct irq_chip gic_chip'
and allow architectures to have custom function by override.
2. Provide architecture specific function pointer hooks
within GIC library and leave platforms to add the necessary
code as part of these hooks.
First one might be non-intrusive but have few shortcomings like arch
needs to have there own custom gic library. Locks used should be
common since it caters to same IRQs etc. Maintenance point of view
also it leads to multiple file fixes.
The second probably is cleaner and portable. It ensures that all the
common GIC infrastructure is not touched and also provides archs to
address their specific issue.

Avoid adding nasty genirq-specific code to local timers to enable PPI
interrupts. Instead, provide a gic function to do this.

Every architecture using the GIC has a gic_cpu_base_addr pointer for
GIC 0 for their entry assembly code to use to decode the cause of the
current interrupt. Move this into the common GIC code.

We don't need to re-pass the base address for the CPU interfaces to the
GIC for secondary CPUs, as it will never be different from the boot CPU
- and even if it was, we'd overwrite the boot CPU's base address.
Get rid of this argument, and rename to gic_secondary_init().

Provide gic_init() which initializes the GIC distributor and current
CPU's GIC interface for the boot (or single) CPU.

The ARM SMP code wasn't properly updated for the cpumask changes, which
results in smp_timer_broadcast() broadcasting ticks to non-online CPUs.

Move platform independent header files to arch/arm/include/asm, leaving
those in asm/arch* and asm/plat* alone.
