Subject: [PATCH v2 00/19] Implement generic IPI support mechanism

This series adds support for a generic IPI mechanism that can be used by both
arch and drivers to send IPIs to other CPUs.

v2 introduces a big change over v1 and should have addressed all review comments.

List of changes:
	- We now have 2 IPI flags to distinguish per cpu IPIs from single ones.
	- IPI functions are in ipi.c
	- Added offset to ipi_mask to cater for masks starting at non-zero.
	- New API for sending IPIs.
	- Added device hierarchy to mips-gic.
	- Added a new patch to reserve mips-gic IPIs from DT.
	- Dropped the Docs help for now till API stabilises.

It's hard to detail every change done but these are the headlines.
It would be good to look at all patches again. Hopefully I broke them down in
an away that is easy to review.

I hope this is close enough to how it should be done and I didn't stray off.

I tested this on Malta platform which effectively doesn't have DT support.
Unfortunately I don't have access to a platform with DT support that can run on
latest kernel. The recent changes in irq/core makes backporting the patches non
trivial.

Thanks in advance.
