Changes to gt64260 interrupt support code

Please introduce these changes into the linuxppc
sources in order that the existing gt64260 interrupt
support code be usable on platforms other than the
Galileo Eval Board.

The current gt64260 interrupt support code forces
use of particular Linux irqs (starting from 0) for
particular GT64260 interrupt sources.  These changes
allow use of that support code in other platforms and
(of particular interest in my situation) in combination
with other interrupt controllers (like the elegant
and flexible 8259) that also want to map *their*
interrupt sources to the Linux irqs starting at 0...

Michael,

I'm pushing your patch as I write this.  I made one change, though.
I changed the variable name gt64260_firstIRQ to gt64260_irq_base since it
seems more descriptive--firstIRQ makes me think of a special case for the
very first intr to happen.

You will need to make the appropriate changes to your internal code.

Mark
