This consolidates the various board heartbeat LED implementations,
used for strobing the load average across a LED bank. Those boards
not implementing a full bank can hook in via the LED class.
We leave the compat hook in the machvec for now until those non-banked
boards are able to migrate to the drivers/leds.

The conversion from IPR-IRQ to IRQ-chip resulted in the
ipr data being allocated in a local variable in
make_ipr_irq - breaking anything using IPR interrupts.
This changes all of the callers of make_ipr_irq to
allocate a static structure containing the IPR data which
is then passed to make_ipr_irq. This removes the need for
make_ipr_irq to allocate any additional space for the IPR
information.

Some more machvec overhauling and setup code cleanup. Kill off
get_system_type() and platform_setup(), we can do these both
through the machvec. While we're add it, kill off more useless
mach.c's and drop some legacy cruft from setup.c.

Some of these have suffered some bitrot, and so there is
some degree of dead code that has been left sitting around,
clean it up..

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.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
