I disagree with this patch.
Even though RISC-V priv sepc allows interrupt causes >= 16, we
still need CSRs to manage arbitrary local interrupts
Currently, we have following standard CSRs:
1) [m|s]ie and [m|s]ip which are XLEN wide
2) With AIA, we have [m|s]ieh and [m|s]iph for RV32
Clearly, we can only have a XLEN number of standard local
interrupts without AIA and 64 local interrupts with AIA.
Now for implementations with custom CSRs (such as Andes),
we still can't assume infinite local interrupts because HW will
have a finite number of custom CSRs.

I disagree with this change based on the reasoning above.
Instead of this, we should determine the number of local interrupts
based on the type of RISC-V intc:
1) For standard INTC without AIA, we have XLEN (or BITS_PER_LONG)
local interrupts
2) For standart INTC with AIA, we have 64 local interrupts
3) For custom INTC (such as Andes), the number of local interrupt
should be custom (Andes specific) which can be determined based
on compatible string.
Also, creating a linear domain with a fixed number of local interrupts
ensures that drivers can't map a local interrupt beyond the availability
of CSRs to manage it.

Same as above, we should definitely advertise the type of INTC and
number of local interrupts mapped.
