[PATCH v2 00/26] genirq: fix use of irq_find_mapping outside of legal RCU context

A number of irqchip drivers are directly calling irq_find_mapping,
which may use a rcu_read_lock call when walking the radix tree.

Turns out that if you hit that point with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU enabled,
the kernel will shout at you, as using RCU in this context may be
illegal (specially if coming from the idle state, where RCU would be
in a quiescent state).

A possible fix would be to wrap calls to irq_find_mapping into a
RCU_NONIDLE macro, but that really looks ugly.

This patch series introduce another generic IRQ entry point
(handle_domain_irq), which has the exact same behaviour as handle_IRQ
(as defined on arm, arm64 and openrisc), except that it also takes a
irq_domain pointer. This allows the logical IRQ lookup to be done
inside the irq_{enter,exit} section, which contains a
rcu_irq_{enter,exit}, making it safe.

A number of irqchips are then converted to this new entry point. I've
converted all the direct users of irq_find_mapping, except for the
cases where it was used as a chained handler (chained_irq_{enter,exit}
makes it safe). Users of irq_linear_revmap are safe as well. I've
given it some light testing on arm64.

The series is also available in my tree:

>From v1 [1]:
- Made handle_domain_irq a generic function
- Added OpenRISC to the list of affected architectures
- Converted more interrupt controllers
- Rebased on v3.17-rc1
