[RFC] 85XX: Allow 8259 cascade to share an MPIC interrupt line.

The Freescale MPC8555CDS and MPC8548CDS reference hardware has a legacy
8259 interrupt controller pair contained within a VIA VT82C686B Southbridge
on the main carrier board. The processor complex plugs into the carrier
card using a PCI slot which limits the available interrupts to the
INTA-INTD PCI interrupts. The output of the 8259 cascade pair is routed
through a gate array and connected to the PCI INTA interrupt line.
The normal interrupt chaining hook (set_irq_chained_handler) does
not allow sharing of the chained interrupt which prevents the
use of PCI INTA by PCI devices. This patch allows the 8259 cascade
pair to share their interrupt line with PCI devices.

Note that there may very well be a better way of accomplishing this. If someone
has a better alternative, I'm open to it. This was just the simplest way I could
get this to work.

Also, the addition of the .end routine for the MPIC is not strictly necessary for
this patch. It's there so this code will run from within the threaded interrupt
context used by the Real Time patch.
