This adds support for Vybrid's interrupt router. On VF6xx models,
almost all peripherals can be used by either of the two CPU's,
the Cortex-A5 or the Cortex-M4. The interrupt router routes the
peripheral interrupts to the configured CPU.
This IRQ chip driver configures the interrupt router to route
the requested interrupt to the CPU the kernel is running on.
The driver makes use of the irqdomain hierarchy support. The
parent is given by the device tree. This should be one of the
two possible parents either ARM GIC or the ARM NVIC interrupt
controller. The latter is currently not yet supported.
Note that there is no resource control mechnism implemented to
avoid concurrent access of the same peripheral. The user needs
to make sure to use device trees which assign the peripherals
orthogonally. However, this driver warns the user in case the
interrupt is already configured for the other CPU. This provides
a poor man's resource controller.
