Stafford Horne eea1a28f93 openrisc: Fix IPIs on simple multicore systems
Commit c056718464 ("openrisc: sleep instead of spin on secondary
wait") fixed OpenRISC SMP Linux for QEMU. However, stability was never
achieved on FPGA development boards.  This is because the above patch
has a step to unmask IPIs on non-boot cpu's but on hardware without
power management, IPIs remain masked.

This meant that IPI's were never actually working on the simple SMP
systems we run on development boards.  The systems booted but stability
was very suspect.

Add the ability to unmask IPI's on the non-boot cores.  This is done by
making the OMPIC IRQs proper percpu IRQs.  We can then use the
enabled_percpu_irq() to unmask IRQ on the non-boot cpus.

Update the or1k PIC driver to use a flow handler that can switch between
percpu and the configured level or edge flow handlers at runtime.
This mechanism is inspired by that done in the J-Core AIC driver.
