FSL MPIC supports 16 bit vectors so our vector number space isn't
restricted to 256 vectors. We should use the MPIC_LARG_VECTORS flag
while intializing the MPIC. This also prevents us from eating in to=20
hardware vector number space (MSIs) while setting up internal sources.
What is driving this change?  The commit message isn't quite correct as =
MPIC_LARGE_VECTORS is about the # of IRQs, not the fact that vector =
field is 16-bits.
