Subject: [PATCH v4 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.

v4 is rebased on tip of irq/core and fixes a bug in ipi_send_single() where we
were passing the basevirq irq_data instead of the irq_data for the target cpu.

v3 removed the use of struct ipi_mask and moved to using cpumask only.
The assumption is that the user would need to set NR_CPUS to a suitable value to
cater for coprocessors outside linux SMP range.

We use irq_common_data affinity to store the ipi_mask too. Maybe we need to
separate them later, but I think it can be done safely later if the need arises.

This is boot tested on Malta platform.

Note that of_irq_find_parent() was moved to be static and could cause this patch
series not to compile. The issue was reported and a fix to undo that change
is in the pipeline (in the DT tree I guess).

Thanks,
Qais
