Support for arch_irq_work_raise() was missing from
arm64 (a prerequisite for FULL_NOHZ).
This patch is based on the arm32 patch ARM 7872/1.

ARM: 7872/1: Support arch_irq_work_raise() via self IPIs
By default, IRQ work is run from the tick interrupt (see
irq_work_run() in update_process_times()). When we're in full
NOHZ mode, restarting the tick requires the use of IRQ work and
if the only place we run IRQ work is in the tick interrupt we
have an unbreakable cycle. Implement arch_irq_work_raise() via
self IPIs to break this cycle and get the tick started again.
Note that we implement this via IPIs which are only available on
SMP builds. This shouldn't be a problem because full NOHZ is only
supported on SMP builds anyway.

On platforms with power management capabilities, timers that are shut
down when a CPU enters deep C-states must be emulated using an always-on
timer and a timer IPI to relay the timer IRQ to target CPUs on an SMP
system.
This patch enables the generic clockevents broadcast infrastructure for
arm64, by providing the required Kconfig entries and adding the timer
IPI infrastructure.

This patch uses the generic irqchip_init() function for initialising the
interrupt controller on arm64. It also adds several definitions required
by the ARM GIC irqchip driver but does not enable ARM_GIC yet.

This patch adds SMP initialisation and spinlocks implementation for
AArch64. The spinlock support uses the new load-acquire/store-release
instructions to avoid explicit barriers. The architecture also specifies
that an event is automatically generated when clearing the exclusive
monitor state to wake up processors in WFE, so there is no need for an
explicit DSB/SEV instruction sequence. The SEVL instruction is used to
set the exclusive monitor locally as there is no conditional WFE and a
branch is more expensive.
For the SMP booting protocol, see Documentation/arm64/booting.txt.

This patch adds the support for IRQ handling. The actual interrupt
controller will be part of a separate patch (going into
drivers/irqchip/).
