genirq: Add a new generic IPI reservation code to irq core

Add a generic mechanism to dynamically allocate an IPI. Depending on the
underlying implementation this creates either a single Linux irq or a
consective range of Linux irqs. The Linux irq is used later to send IPIs to
other CPUs.

[ tglx: Massaged the code and removed the 'consecutive mask' restriction for
  	the single IRQ case ]
