[okl4-developer] interrupt manager

[Carl van Schaik]

Hi Jorge,

There is a global class already which could be used for this which other 
architectures use. I guess this is where the code should be.

ie:
pistachio/platform/generic/include/plat/intctrl-apic.h
pistachio/platform/generic/include/plat/intctrl-pic.h

should add a method similar to register_interrupt_handler() in 
pistachio/platform/pxa/include/plat/intctrl.h but with ia32 specific 
arguments.

regards,
Carl
