Under ddb5xxx/ directory there is an example of doing cascading portable IRQ
controllers.  The irq_cpu.c file really should be shared by all common r4k
style CPUs.

Ralf, I think we should have a common init_IRQ() in arch/mips/kernel, which
will then call (*setup_irq)().  This way it is easier to build a kernel for
multiple boards.  It is also more compatible with the current arrangment. 
What do you think?
