MIPS: smp.c: Introduce mechanism for freeing and allocating IPIs
For the MIPS remote processor implementation, we need additional IPIs to talk to the remote processor. Since MIPS GIC reserves exactly the right number of IPI IRQs required by Linux for the number of VPs in the system, this is not possible without releasing some recources. This commit introduces mips_smp_ipi_allocate() which allocates IPIs to a given cpumask. It is called as normal with the cpu_possible_mask at bootup to initialise IPIs to all CPUs. mips_smp_ipi_free() may then be used to free IPIs to a subset of those CPUs so that their hardware resources can be reused.
