dclz() expects its 64-bit argument being passed as a single register
but on 32-bit kernels it'll actually be in a register pair.

this patch restores the behaviour of the old (assembly-written)
interrupt handler, the handler is left as soon as a single interrupt
cause is handled.

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.

Running a UP kernel on a bcm1480 board, I get nonsensical timing
results, like this:
release@unknown:~/tmp$ time ./a.out
real 0m22.906s
user 0m45.792s
sys 0m0.010s
According to my watch, this program took 23 seconds to run, so the real
time clock is OK. It is process accounting that is broken.
I tracked this down to a problem with the function
bcm1480_timer_interrupt in the file sibyte/bcm1480/time.c. This
function calls ll_timer_interrupt for cpu0, and ll_local_timer_interrupt
for all cpus. However, both of these functions do process accounting.
Thus processes running on cpu0 end up with doubled times. This is very
obvious in a UP kernel where all processes run on cpu0.
The correct way to do this is to only call ll_local_timer interrupt if
this is not cpu0. This can be seen in the mips-board/generic/time.c
file, and also in the sibyte/sb1250/time.c file, both of which handle
this correctly. I fixed the bcm1480/time.c file by copying over the
correct code from the sb1250/time.c file.
With this fix, I now get sensible results.
release@unknown:~/tmp$ time ./a.out
real 0m22.903s
user 0m22.894s
sys 0m0.006s

Saves like 1,600 lines of code, is way easier to debug, compilers
frequently do a better job than the cut and paste type of handlers many
boards had. And finally having all the stuff done in a single place
also means alot of bug potencial for the MT ASE is gone.
The only surviving handler in assembler is the DECstation one; I hope
Maciej will rewrite it.
