02b6505c8f powerpc/powernv: Increase opal-irqchip initcall priority
The eeh subsystem for powernv requires the opal event irqchip to be
initialised prior to initialisation or the following errors are
produced (and eeh doesn't work as expected):

irq: XICS didn't like hwirq-0x9 to VIRQ17 mapping (rc=-22)
pnv_eeh_post_init: Can't request OPAL event interrupt (0)

On powernv eeh is initialised from a subsys_initcall due to a check
for machine_is(powernv) in eeh_init(). This patch increases the
initcall priority of opal_event_init() to an arch_initcall to ensure
the opal event interface is initialised prior to any users of it.

81f2f7ce4c opal: Remove events notifier
All users of the old opal events notifier have been converted over to
the irq domain so remove the event notifier functions.

9f0fd0499d powerpc/powernv: Add a virtual irqchip for opal events
Whenever an interrupt is received for opal the linux kernel gets a
bitfield indicating certain events that have occurred and need handling
by the various device drivers. Currently this is handled using a
notifier interface where we call every device driver that has
registered to receive opal events.

This approach has several drawbacks. For example each driver has to do
its own checking to see if the event is relevant as well as event
masking. There is also no easy method of recording the number of times
we receive particular events.

This patch solves these issues by exposing opal events via the
standard interrupt APIs by adding a new interrupt chip and
domain. Drivers can then register for the appropriate events using
standard kernel calls such as irq_of_parse_and_map().
