Benjamin Herrenschmidt bb54af59de xics: Add support for reduced priority field size
This makes the ICS support less than the 8 architected bits
and sets the soc to use 3 bits by default.

All the supported bits set translates to "masked" (and will read
back at 0xff), any small value is used as-is.

Linux doesn't use priorities above 5, so this is a way to save
silicon. The number of supported priority bits is exposed to the
OS via the config register.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 5c2fc47e2c xics: Add simple ICS
Move the external interrupt generation to a separate module
"ICS" (source controller) which a register per source containing
currently only the priority control.

Paul Mackerras 03f9d7a97e tests/xics: Fix assumption that interrupts happen immediately
Currently the test writes to the XICS and then checks that the
expected interrupt has happened.  This turns into a stbcix
instruction followed immediately by a load from the variable that
indicates whether an interrupt has happened.  It is possible for
it to take a few cycles for the store to reach the XICS and the
interrupt request signal to come back to the core, particularly
with improvements to the load/store unit and dcache.

This therefore adds a delay between storing to the XICS and
checking for the occurrence of an interrupt, so as to give the
signals time to propagate.  The delay loop does an arbitrary 10
iterations, and each iteration does two loads and one store to
(cacheable) memory.

Michael Neuling 0076f8bf1d XICS test case
Checks interrupt masking and priorities.

Adds to `make test_xics` which is run in `make check` also.
