Huacai Chen f339bd3b51 Docs/LoongArch: Add advanced extended IRQ model description
Introduce the advanced extended interrupt controllers (AVECINTC). This
feature will allow each core to have 256 independent interrupt vectors
and MSI interrupts can be independently routed to any vector on any CPU.

The whole topology of irqchips in LoongArch machines looks like this if
AVECINTC is supported:

  +-----+     +-----------------------+     +-------+
  | IPI | --> |        CPUINTC        | <-- | Timer |
  +-----+     +-----------------------+     +-------+
               ^          ^          ^
               |          |          |
        +---------+ +----------+ +---------+     +-------+
        | EIOINTC | | AVECINTC | | LIOINTC | <-- | UARTs |
        +---------+ +----------+ +---------+     +-------+
             ^            ^
             |            |
        +---------+  +---------+
        | PCH-PIC |  | PCH-MSI |
        +---------+  +---------+
          ^     ^           ^
          |     |           |
  +---------+ +---------+ +---------+
  | Devices | | PCH-LPC | | Devices |
  +---------+ +---------+ +---------+
                   ^
                   |
              +---------+
              | Devices |
              +---------+
