[POWERPC] pSeries/kexec: Fix for interrupt distribution
This allows any secondary CPU thread also to become boot cpu for POWER5. The patch is required to solve kdump boot issue when the kdump kernel is booted with parameter "maxcpus=1". XICS init code tries to match the current boot cpu id with "reg" property in each CPU node in the device tree. But CPU node is created only for primary thread CPU ids and "reg" property only reflects primary CPU ids. So when a kernel is booted on a secondary cpu thread above condition will never meet and the default distribution server is left as zero. This leads to route the interrupts to CPU 0, but which is not online at this time. We use ibm,ppc-interrupt-server#s to check for both primary and secondary CPU ids. Accordingly default distribution server value is initialized from "ibm,ppc-interrupt-gserver#s" property. We loop through ibm,ppc-interrupt-gserver#s property to find the global distribution server from the last entry that matches with boot cpuid.
