[PATCH] powerpc/pmac: Simplify old pmac PIC interrupt handling

In the old days, we treated all interrupts from the legacy Apple home made
interrupt controllers as level, with a trick reading the "level" register
along with the "event" register to work arounds bugs where it would
occasionally fail to latch some events.

Doing so appeared to work fine for both level and edge interrupts.

Later on, we discovered in Darwin source the magic masks that define which
interrupts are actually level and which are edge, and implemented a
different algorithm, more similar to what Apple does, that treats those
differently.

I recently discovered however that this caused problems (including loss
of interrupts) with an old Wallstreet PowerBook when trying to use the
internal modem (connected to a cascaded controller).

It looks like some interrupts are treated as edge while they are really
level and I'm starting to seriously doubt the correctness of the Darwin
code (which has other obvious bugs when you read it, so ...)

This patch reverts to our original behaviour of treating everything as
a level interrupt. It appears to solve the problems with the modem on
the Wallstreet and everything else seems to be working properly as well.

Please test on anything pre-MPIC: all oldworld and very few newworld
such as the Lombard PowerBook (101) or the original iMac.
