Downstream (what Raspberry Pi users are generally using) is using FIQ
for the USB driver to reduce interrupt latency.  Notably, the ethernet
chip hangs off USB, and I've heard the USB chip is flaky when interrupt
latency is too high.  I've only seen dmesg warnings and not lockups
myself, but if FIQs improve performance, it may be worthwhile for us.

Right now downstream is using its own platform ports called 2708/2708.
They're considering swapping over to using our platform ports instead,
and being able to use upstream's interrut controller would be a big step
on that front.  If they can use our platform support in general, it
means that future platforms based on it will be more mergeable upstream
(It's been 7 months and we still don't have a Raspberry Pi 2 port in
tree.  It's kind of embarrassing).

So, while FIQ isn't used in upstream, I think it's worthwhile to merge.
It is another step to bringing the downstream developers into the fold.
