d74361881f powerpc/xics: Add ICP OPAL backend
This adds a new XICS backend that uses OPAL calls, which can be
used when we don't have native support for the platform interrupt
controller.

5c7c1e9444 powerpc/powernv: Add OPAL ICS backend
OPAL handles HW access to the various ICS or equivalent chips
for us (with the exception of p5ioc2 based HEA which uses a

different backend) similarily to what RTAS does on pSeries.

0b05ac6e24 powerpc/xics: Rewrite XICS driver
This is a significant rework of the XICS driver, too significant to
conveniently break it up into a series of smaller patches to be honest.

The driver is moved to a more generic location to allow new platforms
to use it, and is broken up into separate ICP and ICS "backends". For
now we have the native and "hypervisor" ICP backends and one common
RTAS ICS backend.

The driver supports one ICP backend instanciation, and many ICS ones,
in order to accomodate future platforms with multiple possibly different
interrupt "sources" mechanisms.
