Question regarding mpic_assign_isu() in storcenter.c

The answer is that mpic_assign_isu(mpic, 1, paddr + 0x11000) places the initial base register
for isu 1 on a reserved location in the PIC register map (see *).  I guess you can infer from this
that no badness occurs when you write to a reserved location on the PIC.

That aside, when you walk through mpic_init(), the resulting vector placement as a result of
the mpic_assign_isu() calls are consistent with the corresponding device tree.
