a84195f36e [PATCH] ppc64: fix IPI on bpa_iic
This fixes a severe bug in the bpa_iic driver that caused
all sorts of problems.

We had been using incorrect priority values for inter processor
interrupts, which resulted in always doing CALL_FUNCTION
instead of RESCHEDULE or DEBUGGER_BREAK.

The symptoms cured by this patch include bad performance on
SMP systems spurious kernel panics in the IPI code.

cebf589c82 [PATCH] ppc64: Add driver for BPA interrupt controllers
Add support for the integrated interrupt controller on BPA
CPUs. There is one of those for each SMT thread.

The mapping of interrupt numbers to HW interrupt sources
is described in arch/ppc64/kernel/bpa_iic.h.

This version hardcodes the 'Spider' chip as the secondary
interrupt controller. That is not really generic for the
architecture, but at the moment it is the only secondary
PIC that exists.

A little more work will be needed on this as soon as
we have boards with multiple external interrupt controllers.
