There is no MPIDR on MIPS, which is where this code is being primarily
used as-is. On ARM/ARM64 the driver is used as a second level interrupt
controller with only a single "bank" of registers as opposed to one
per-CPU, meaning that we would always use intc->cpus[0] because you
cannot change the interrupt affinity of a second level interrupt
controller AFAICT. Maybe the above deserves to be made CONFIG_SMP &&
CONFIG_MIPS somehow.
