Whole series applied to mvebu-next/irqchip-fixes (v2 for 3/3).  Once I
see that the outstanding pull requests for mvebu/irqchip have been
merged into mainline, I'll be changing the name of this branch to
mvebu/irqchip-fixes.  I just don't want to upset the applecart atm.

Oh yeah, Cc'd for stable back to v3.10.

thx,

Jason.
