OK, what I did was to change

mpic1 = mpic_alloc(np, res.start,
			MPIC_PRIMARY | MPIC_WANTS_RESET | MPIC_BIG_ENDIAN,
			16, 256,
			" MPIC     ");

to
mpic1 = mpic_alloc(np, res.start,
	MPIC_PRIMARY | MPIC_WANTS_RESET | MPIC_BIG_ENDIAN,
	0, 256,
	" MPIC     ");

and remove all the calls to mpic_assign_isu.

When I did this, the board booted, but when I then tried to map my
interrupt, I got a segfault:

unsigned mpic_vector = mpic_reg_to_irq(MSIVPR0);

      printk(KERN_INFO "Endpoint %s: got MPIC IRQ %d\n",name,mpic_vector);

      dis->irq = irq_create_mapping(0,mpic_vector);

Actually, I tried this first. So I guess the second parameter is interrupt
vector #>>16, and the third is the address base of the registers to
generate that interrupt.

When I did this, the kernel wouldn't even boot - it seg'ed on that line.
