I thought XIVE was replacing XICS? And so then we can just simply 
replace all the specific XICS code such as xics_init() and 
xics_smp_probe() with the relevant XIVE functions?

By "make the XICS functions generic" I meant that if there is only one 
interrupt controller for pseries then we don't need to have both static 
void __init pseries_xics_init_IRQ(void) and static void __init 
pSeries_init_IRQ(void), etc.
