8b955b0ddd [PATCH] Initial generic hypertransport interrupt support
This patch implements two functions ht_create_irq and ht_destroy_irq for
use by drivers.  Several other functions are implemented as helpers for
arch specific irq_chip handlers.

The driver for the card I tested this on isn't yet ready to be merged.
However this code is and hypertransport irqs are in use in a few other
places in the kernel.  Not that any of this will get merged before 2.6.19

Because the ipath-ht400 is slightly out of spec this code will need to be
generalized to work there.

I think all of the powerpc uses are for a plain interrupt controller in a
chipset so support for native hypertransport devices is a little less
interesting.

However I think this is a half way decent model on how to separate arch
specific and generic helper code, and I think this is a functional model of
how to get the architecture dependencies out of the msi code.
