[PATCH 1/3] MIPS: Clear Status IPL field when using EIC

[Paul Burton]

When using an external interrupt controller (EIC) the interrupt mask
bits in the cop0 Status register are reused for the Interrupt Priority
Level, and any interrupts with a priority lower than the field will be
ignored. Clear the field to 0 by default such that all interrupts are
serviced. Without doing so we default to arbitrarily ignoring all or
some subset of interrupts.
