[PATCH] powerpc: Fix i8259 interrupt driver kernel crash on ML510

From: Roderick Colenbrander <redacted>

This patch fixes a null pointer exception caused by removal of
'ack()' for level interrupts in the Xilinx interrupt driver.  A recent
change to the xilinx interrupt controller removed the ack hook for
level irqs.

Hi Ben & Linus,

This is a last minute bug fix must go into 2.6.31.  This patch
is needed to prevent a kernel panic on Xilinx ml510 boards.
