During a recent cleanup of the arm64 DTs it has become clear that
the handling of PPIs in xxxx_set_type() is incorrect. The ARM TRMs
for GICv2 and later allow for "implementation defined" support for
setting the edge or level type of the PPI interrupts and don't restrict
the activation level of the signal. Current ARM implementations
do restrict the PPI level type to IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW, but licensees
of the IP can decide to shoot themselves in the foot at any time.

A few GICv2 low-level function are actually very useful to GICv3,
and it makes some sense to share them across the two drivers.
They end-up in their own file, with an additional parameter used
to ensure an optional synchronization (unused on GICv2).
