Thomas,

Could you please pick up this patch? It's the only thing preventing my Realview
EB ARM11MPCore from booting v3.13-rc1.

I've posted the patch a couple of times previously [1,2], but it seems to have
slipped through the cracks. I'm happy to rework the patch if there are any
comments.

Thanks,
Mark.

As of c0114709ed: "irqchip: gic: Perform the gic_secondary_init() call
via CPU notifier", booting on a platform with chained gics (e.g.
Realview EB ARM11MPCore) will result in the gic_cpu_notifier being
registered twice, corrupting the cpu notifier list and rendering the
platform unbootable.

This patch ensures that we only register the notifier for the first gic,
allowing platforms with chained gics to boot. At the same time we limit
the pointlessly duplicated calls to set_smp_cross_call and
set_handle_irq to the first gic registered.
