[PATCH] asm-generic: drop HARDIRQ_BITS definition from hardirq.h

[Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>]

linux/hardirq.h contains a fallback for HARDIRQ_BITS to 10
if it's not defined, so it is pointless to define a default
of 8 in asm/hardirq.h. There does not seem to be a good
reason why an architecture would want to limit the number
of hardirqs this way.

None that I know of. I'm queuing this patch in my asm-generic tree now,
unless Steven or someone else has a better idea.
