Modern ARM systems require an EOI to be sent to the interrupt controller
on completion of both IRQ and FIQ. The FIQ code currently does not provide
any API to perform this. This patch provides this API, implemented by
hooking into main irq driver in a similar way to the existing
enable_fiq()/disable_fiq().

Looks like an extra tab here..

So what if the IRQ chip takes a spinlock?  You can't take spinlocks in
FIQ context...  Who checks for that kind of stuff - just hoping that
the IRQ driver doesn't take a spinlock sounds real fragile.

I'll certainly do a better code review before pushing on. I certainly
did overlook a spinlock in the GIC code which (I think) is actually
reachable on a Tegra platform. I'll have to do something about that.

I've spent a bit of time this week seeing whether lock dep can be
provoked into triggering if it sees a spin lock in this code but that
isn't turning out very well (it needs CONFIG_LOCKDEP_DEBUG, relies on
lockdep believing the FIQ handling state isn't a hardirq and still
doesn't work properly).

Fortunately architectures using EOI appear to be pretty rare (I count
five in drivers/irqchip/ and three in arch/arm/) so traditional code
review and yelling might be sufficient.
