There is one place in the MPIC driver that assumes that the cores are numbered
from 0 to n-1.  However, this is not true if the CPUs are not numbered
sequentially.  This can happen on a eight-core SOC where cores two and three
are removed in the device tree.  So instead of blindly looping, we iterate
over the discovered CPUs and use the SMP ID as the index.

This means that we no longer ask the MPIC how many CPUs there are, so
we also delete mpic-&gt;num_cpus.

We also catch if the number of CPUs in the SOC exceeds the number that the
MPIC supports.  This should never happen, of course, but it's good to be
sure.

Make some PowerPC architecture's code use struct syscore_ops
objects for power management instead of sysdev classes and sysdevs.

This simplifies the code and reduces the kernel's memory footprint.
It also is necessary for removing sysdevs from the kernel entirely in
the future.

<title>powerpc: Make MPIC honor the "pic-no-reset" device tree property</title>

This property, defined in the Open PIC binding, tells the kernel not to use
the reset bit in the global configuration register.  Additionally, its
presence mandates that only sources which are actually used (i.e. appear in
the device tree) should have their VECPRI bits initialized.

Although, "pic-no-reset" can be used for the same use cases that
"protected-sources" is covering, the "protected-sources" implementation was
left completely intact.  This is a more pragmatic approach as there are
already several existing systems which use protected sources.  If
"pic-no-reset" *and* "protected-sources" are both used, however, then
"pic-no-reset" takes precedence in terms of the init behavior and the
sanity checks done by protected sources will still take place.

Convert to the new cpumask API.

irq_choose_cpu can be simplified by using cpumask_next and cpumask_first.

smp_mpic_message_pass was doing open coded cpumask manipulation and passing an
int for a cpumask into mpic_send_ipi. Since mpic_send_ipi is only used
locally, make it static and convert it to take a cpumask. This allows us
to clean up the mess in smp_mpic_message_pass.

CoreInt provides a mechansim to deliver the IRQ vector directly
into the core on an interrupt (via the SPR EPR) rather than having
to go IACK on the PIC.  This is suppose to provide an improvment
in interrupt latency by reducing the time to get the IRQ vector.
