simplifies certain device attachments (Kauai ATA, for instance), and makes
possible others on new hardware.
On G5 systems, there are several otherwise standard PCI devices
(Serverworks SATA) that will not allow their interrupt properties to be
written, so this information must be supplied directly from Open Firmware.

the PIC also informs the platform at which IRQ level it can start
assigning IPIs, since this can depend on the number of IRQs
supported for external interrupts.
o Revamp the PIC I/F to only abstract the PIC hardware. The
resource handling has been moved to nexus, where it belongs.
o Include EOI and MASK+EOI methods to the PIC I/F in support of
INTR_FILTER.
o With the allocation of interrupt resources and setup of
interrupt handlers in the common platform code we can delay
talking to the PIC hardware after enumeration of all devices.
Introduce a call to powerpc_intr_enable() in configure_final()
to achieve that and have powerpc_setup_intr() only program the
PIC when !cold.
o As a consequence of the above, remove all early_attach() glue
from the OpenPIC and Heathrow PIC drivers and have them
register themselves when they're found during enumeration.
o Decouple the interrupt vector from the interrupt request line.
Allocate vectors increasingly so that they can be used for
the intrcnt index as well. Extend the Heathrow PIC driver to
translate between IRQ and vector. The OpenPIC driver already
has the support for vectors in hardware.

- Remove __RMAN_RESORUCE_VISIBLE again. It's no longer required either
because of the above change or because struct rman is no longer hidden.

the MacIO chip and PSIM's IOBus. Bus-specific drivers should
use the identify method to attach themselves to nexus so
interrupt can be allocated before the h/w is probed. The
'early attach' routine in openpic is used for this stage
of boot. When h/w is probed, the openpic can be attached
properly. It will enable interrupts allocated prior to
this.
