This lets Xen with the SMP patch boot reliably on the Maple-D platform I
have access to.

I believe that the long-term strategy for Xen/PPC is to completely
virtualize the PIC, but until that happens, this patch will I believe
allow the SMP patch to go in.

Wow, thats it?! this is good news, I'll have to verify it on my maple.
I think we can patch this better by copying:
  arch/powerpc/platforms/maple/setup.c maple_init_IRQ
into
  arch/powerpc/platforms/xen/evtchn.c

and simply drop:
  MPIC_WANTS_RESET
in the mpic_alloc() call.

and then have no changes in common code.

this make sense to you?
