After commit 8c058b0b9c ("x86/irq: Probe for PIC presence before
allocating descs for legacy IRQs") early_irq_init() will no longer
preallocate descriptors for legacy interrupts if PIC does not
exist, which is the case for Xen PV guests.
Therefore we may need to allocate those descriptors ourselves.

As we now have generic infrastructure to support backtracing of other
CPUs in the system on lockups, we can start to implement this for ARM.
Initially, we add an IPI based implementation, as the GIC code needs
modification to support the generation of FIQ IPIs, and not all ARM
platforms have the ability to raise a FIQ in the non-secure world.
This provides us with a "best efforts" implementation in the absence
of FIQs.

Make mach/irqs.h optional for SPARSE_IRQ. With this change mach/irqs.h can
be removed by converting platforms over to sparse irq.
Platforms either need to set nr_irqs in their machine desc or all irqchips
used by a platform need to allocate their irq_descs. There cannot be a
mixture. Once this is done, the platforms can select SPARSE_IRQ. shmobile
does the latter, and mmp and pxa do the former.

When __irq_svc - or any of the other exception handling assembly code -
calls the C code, the stack pointer will be pointing at the pt_regs
structure.
All the entry points into C code from the exception handling code are
marked with __exception or __exception_irq_enter to indicate that they
are one of the functions which has pt_regs above them.
Normally, when you've entered asm_do_IRQ() you will have this stack
layout (higher address towards top):
pt_regs
asm_do_IRQ frame
If you insert a C function between the exception assembly code and
asm_do_IRQ, you end up with this stack layout instead:
pt_regs
your function frame
asm_do_IRQ frame
This means when we unwind, we'll get to asm_do_IRQ, and rather than
dumping out the pt_regs, we'll dump out your functions stack frame
instead, because that's what is above the asm_do_IRQ stack frame
rather than the expected pt_regs structure.
The fix is to introduce handle_IRQ() for no exception stack dump, so
it can be called with MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER is selected and a C function
is between the assembly code and the actual IRQ handling code.

RiscPC is the only platform using the default setting for NR_IRQS,
so the default NR_IRQS doesn't really make sense; remove it and
make RiscPC provide such a definition.
