GENERIC_IRQ_MULTI_HANDLER is currently being used by the RISC-V port. I
managed to make a few mistakes in my original patch set and as a result
my conversion of the other architectures of GENERIC_IRQ_MULTI_HANDLER
was dropped.

This patch set finishes up my original patch set by converting arm,
arm64, and openrisc over to the new GENERIC_IRQ_MULTI_HANDLER support
and then removing MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER as it's obselete.

At the time I wrote this I gave it fairly extensive build testing, but
went I recently rebased it I just tested the full patch set on arm,
arm64, and openrisc defconfigs.

Various flavors of this patch set have bounced around a few times
before, but I'm calling this a whole new patch set as it builds on top
of what was merged.

I'll take the whole pile through tip irq/core which probably makes the most
sense unless there are any objections from architecture maintainers.

Thanks! Unless I've managed to screw something up I don't see these in your tree, but I also don't see any feedback from anyone else.
