Subject: [PATCH v1] x86, ioapic: fix kernel crash on boot on non-PC platforms

Intel MID platforms have no legacy IRQ support. The commit bfa644bfa9e3 (x86,
irq: Convert IOAPIC to use hierarchy irqdomain interfaces) introduces new
scheme of allocating IRQs for IOAPIC, though it maps a pin disregarding whether
or not the platform supports legacy IRQs. Thus, during boot we end up with a
kernel crash like following:

	Enabling APIC mode:  Flat.  Using 1 I/O APICs
	BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000018
	IP: [<c107bdc6>] __irq_domain_alloc_irqs+0xff/0x250

The patch fixes the issue by threating legacy property correctly on non-PC
platforms.
