Add a passthru-mask property for setting interrupts which are passed
through directly to a primary controller.

This is very confusing on the Integrators. The FPGA IRQ controller
*is* the primary interrupt controller on these.

(Further on Integrators with an IM-PD1 expansion board the
VIC is actually the secondary controller visavis the FPGA
IRQ controller which is the primary one.)

So on the versatile the FPGA IRQ controller is *not* cascaded
off one line of the VIC but rather connected in parallel or
something?

Care to elaborate a bit on how things are cascaded here?
And specify that this is for some special usecase or
something?

I'll read through the patches and see if I can wrap my head
around this.
