Next try to submit two patches for Freescale mpc8315.

first one
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
powerpc/ipic: Configure "EDGE" capabilities for IRQ0 too (like IRQ1-7)
Signed-off-by: Jurgen Schindele <schindele at nentec.de>

The external IRQ0 has the same capabilities as the other IRQ1-7 and is
handeled by the same register IPIC_SEPNR. When this register for "ack"
is not setup in "ipic_info" you can not configure this IRQ for
IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING. This is probably due to the non-continued number
of IRQ0 in the Freescale hwirq number mapping.

powerpc/ipic: Precise ERR printk when "ipic_set_irq_type" fails
Signed-off-by: Jurgen Schindele <schindele at nentec.de>

When you setup an interrupt of a certain type on this interrupt-controler
which is not supported on this hardware you will get an error log but you
dont know which interrupt was the cause.
With this patch you are able to localize the source of failure.
