This doesn't match the implementation in this patch.  The
implementation only matches against the cortex-a9 gic.

Also, I expect that the gic is different between the arm,cortex-a9-gic
and the arm,arm11-mp-gic.  Is the tegra also a different gic
implementation?  Or can it be expected that the tegra gic will simply
claim compatibility with the a9 gic?

Drop irq-start.  That's a Linux internal implementation detail, and
Linux can easily handle dynamic assignment of irq ranges.

If board support code still has special needs on specific platforms,
then we can manually override the assigned range for that specific
platform only as a short term workaround.

This can only handle a single gic in a system.  This is a start, but
multiple interrupt controllers must be supported, like for the Samsung
socs.

I've been toying with writing some code that walks the interrupt
controller tree, finds the root controller, and then sets up each
child controller as a cascade.
