powerpc: Hook up doorbells on server
This patch actually hooks up doorbell interrupts on POWER8: - Select the PPC_DOORBELL Kconfig option from PPC_PSERIES - Add the doorbell CPU feature bit to POWER8 - We define a new pSeries_cause_ipi_mux() function that issues a doorbell interrupt if the recipient is another thread within the same core as the sender. If the recipient is in a different core it falls back to using XICS to deliver the IPI as before. - During pSeries_smp_probe() at boot, we check if doorbell interrupts are supported. If they are we set the cause_ipi function pointer to the above mentioned function, otherwise we leave it as whichever XICS cause_ipi function was determined by xics_smp_probe().
