Subject: [PATCH][RT] powerpc - XICS: move the call to irq_radix_revmap from xics_startup to xics_host_map

  This patch moves the insertion of an irq into the reverse mapping radix tree
from xics_startup() into xics_host_map().

  The reason for this change is that xics_startup() is called with preemption
disabled (which is not the case for xics_host_map()) which is a problem under a
preempt-rt kernel as we cannot even allocate GFP_ATOMIC memory for the radix tree
nodes.
