Subject: [PATCH] irq: crossbar: improve allocate_free_irq() complexity

current algorithm in allocate_free_irq() is O(n),
by just keeping track of last allocated IRQ with a
simple unsigned integer, we can find a free IRQ
in O(1).

compile-tested only as J6 DTS is currently missing crossbar
altogether :-(

There's a drawback with this patch which I'm not sure if we
should care a lot because I couldn't entirely grasp when is
domain->xlate() called and if we will map/unmap IRQs in runtime
or will this *always* be done only during boot.

If we're talking about runtime IRQ remapping, then this, clearly,
won't work. But if this will be done only during boot up, then we
avoid iterating over the irq_map array each time we try to translate
a new IRQ prior to mapping it.

Comments are highly welcome as I'll probably learn something new
about the IRQ subsystem ;-)
