Gah! QDF and its 24bit INTIDs... Making life hell for everyone ;-)

Sorry for breaking it.

I find it rather odd that we end-up with different interrupt ranges
depending on the CPU page size. Also, allocating that much memory for
LPIs is rather pointless, as we actually have a pretty low limit of
interrupts the system can deal with (see IRQ_BITMAP_BITS, which is
slightly more than 8k). I've so far seen *one* request to push it up,
but I doubt that it is a real use case.

Capping lpi_id_bits at 16 (which is what we had before) is plenty,
will save a some memory, and gives some margin before we need to push
it up again.

Thanks,

        M.
