Paul Mundt dc825b1790 sh: intc: IRQ auto-distribution support.
This implements support for hardware-managed IRQ balancing as implemented
by SH-X3 cores (presently only hooked up for SH7786, but can probably be
carried over to other SH-X3 cores, too).

CPUs need to specify their distribution register along with the mask
definitions, as these follow the same format. Peripheral IRQs that don't
opt out of balancing will be automatically distributed at the whim of the
hardware block, while each CPU needs to verify whether it is handling the
IRQ or not, especially before clearing the mask.

config INTC_USERIMASK
bool "Userspace interrupt masking support"
depends on ARCH_SHMOBILE || (SUPERH && CPU_SH4A)
help
This enables support for hardware-assisted userspace hardirq
masking.
SH-4A and newer interrupt blocks all support a special shadowed
page with all non-masking registers obscured when mapped in to
userspace. This is primarily for use by userspace device
drivers that are using special priority levels.
If in doubt, say N.
config INTC_BALANCING
bool "Hardware IRQ balancing support"
depends on SMP && SUPERH && CPU_SUBTYPE_SH7786
help
This enables support for IRQ auto-distribution mode on SH-X3
SMP parts. All of the balancing and CPU wakeup decisions are
taken care of automatically by hardware for distributed
vectors.
If in doubt, say N.
