Convert the gic interrupt controller to use irq domains in preparation
for device-tree binding and MULTI_IRQ. This allows for translation between
GIC interrupt IDs and Linux irq numbers.

The meaning of irq_offset has changed. It now is just the number of skipped
GIC interrupt IDs for the controller. It will be 16 for primary GIC and 32
for secondary GICs.

This can probably change simply to d->hwirq if irq_offset is
eliminated as I describe below.

With the switch to irq_domain, there should no longer be any need for
a ~31 mask on the irq_start number.  Yes, you'll want to make sure
that it doesn't allocate below irq 16, but the driver should
completely use the irq_domain to manage the mapping from linux-irq
number to hwirq number.  The ~31 mask appears to have been an
optimization to quickly calculate hwirq number from the linux one, but
that value is now found in irq_data->hwirq.
I started out exactly this way removing irq_offset. The problem is the
core irq domain code assumes that hwirq starts at 0, but for the gic it
starts at 16 or 32.

It could be fixed in the domain core, but that would effectively mean
moving irq_offset into the core.

The masking here is mainly to not break exynos. Everyone else passes in
a value of 16-31 which I could just hardcode to 16. So when exynos gets
all the interrupts converted over to domains, this can be removed. I
looked at it briefly and it doesn't look trivial.
irq_offset could almost be dropped entirely outside of probe because
it no longer matters.  Instead, populate the to_irq() hook so that the
hwirq value gets set correctly from the outset.

It would be better in general to have a consistent view of what the
hwirq number means regardless of if it is a root GIC.
Agreed.
