Where are Matt's changes for the Tivo?  It would address this and give
us another example of how this should be structured.

This is not an appealing solution.  We should change ppc4xx_pic_init()
to initialize the internal interrupt controller irq descriptor, and then
create a standard board initialization call for board specific changes.

The '...board_init()' function can be empty for those boards that don't
require any additional controller initialization.

The NR_IRQS should represent the total number of interrupts across all
controllers.  The pic_init() should change this loop to initialize either
NR_AIC or NR_UIC depending upon a 403 or 405 interrupt controller.  No
#ifdefs necessary.

Thanks.
