[RFC PATCH 0/2] MIPS: selectively eliminate plat_irq_dispatch

[Manuel Lauss <manuel.lauss@googlemail.com>]

These 2 patches provide a means to eliminate plat_irq_dispatch() on platforms
that can do without it.

Patch #1 adds a new config symbol which, when set, calls a generic MIPS irq
  dispatcher.  All interrupts controllers hanging off these interrupts must
  be registered as chain handlers.

Patch #2 implements the above on Alchemy.

Tested on various DB1xxx boards, with and without the C0 timer.

Finally, all credits should go to Ralf as he suggested the idea to me.

Please share your comments,
        Manuel Lauss

  MIPS: add option to the rid of plat_irq_dispatch
  MIPS: Alchemy: make ICs chained handler of MIPS ints.
