Use of CONFIG_ARM_GIC on aarch64

Hi Catalin, I have startied to host the Linaro aarch64 branch on the ARM Landing Team's GIT repo. This repo will start to be used for our Android builds, etc, as we sort out the manifests and so on. I thought I should make you aware that I've patched the use of CONFIG_ARM_GIC [1] so that I can build 32- and 64-bit platforms from the same tree. I found that when I was building our existing vexpress kernel, compilation failed for drivers/irqchip/gic.c. Once fixed, it failed to link due to drivers/irqchip/gic.c duplicating symbols that are already in arch/arm/common/gic.c. I realise that the irqchip will probably replace the arch/arm/common/gic.c in the grand scheme of things, meaning no action is needed on your behalf. But I thought it might be worth telling you that I'd hacked your driver in my tree. Regards, Ryan.
