ARC HS Cores support configurable multiple interrupt priorities of upto
16 levels.
There is processor "interrupt preemption threshhold" in STATUS32.E[4:1]
And several places need to set this up:
1. seed value as kernel is booting
2. seed value for user space programs
3. Arg to SLEEP instruction in idle task (what interrupt prio can wake)
4. Per-IRQ line prioirty (i.e. what is the priority of interrupt
raised by a peripheral or timer or perf counter...
Currently above sites use the highest priority 0. This can be potential
problem when multiple priorities are supported. e.g. user space could
only be interrupted by P0 interrupt, not others...
So turn this over and instead make default interruption level to be
the lowest priority possible 15. This should be fine even if there are
fewer priority levels configured (say two: P0 HIGH, P1 LOW)
This feature also effectively disables FIRQ feature if present in
hardware config. With old code, a P0 interrupt would be FIRQ, needing
special handling (ISR or Register Banks) which is NOT supported yet.
Now it not be P0 (P15 or whatever is lowest prio) so FIRQ is not
triggered.

Although kernel doesn't support the multiple IRQ priority levels provided
by HS38x core intc yet, ensure that the default prio value is used
anyways by relevant code.
SLEEP insn needs to be provided the IRQ priority level which can
interrupt it. This needs to be the default level which maynot
necessarily be 0 as assumed by current code.
This change allows a kernel with ARCV2_IRQ_DEF_PRIO = 1 to boot fine.

The issue was, on HS when interrupt is taken, IRQ_ACT is set and that is
NOT cleared unless we do RTIE (or manually clear it). Linux interrupt
handling has top and bottom halves. Latter lead to softirqs (which can
reschedule) AND expect interrupts to be REALLY re-enabled which was NOT
happening for us since we only SETI, dont clear IRQ_ACT
So we can have a state when both cores have taken interrupt (IRQ_ACT set),
get rescheduled, both send IPI and wait in CSD lock which will never be
cleared as cores can't take the pending IPI IRQ due to existing IRQ_ACT
set.
So local_irq_enable() now drops the IRQ_ACT.act bit to re-enable IRQs.
