[RFC PATCH 2/2] pseries/xics: use cpu_possible_mask rather than cpu_all_mask

[Nishanth Aravamudan]

Current firmware only allows us to send IRQs to the first processor or
all processors. We currently check to see if the passed in mask is equal
to the all_mask, but the firmware is only considering whether the
request is for the equivalent of the possible_mask. Thus, we think the
request is for some subset of CPUs and only assign IRQs to the first CPU
(on systems without irqbalance running) as evidenced by
/proc/interrupts. By using possible_mask instead, we account for this
and proper interleaving of interrupts occurs. Without this change and
"pseries/xics: use cpu_possible_mask rather than cpu_all_mask", IRQs are
all routed to CPU0 on power machines not running irqbalance.
