This allows a PCI controller to shim into IRQ delivery
so that DMA queues can be drained, if necessary.

If some bus specific code needs to run before an IRQ
handler is invoked, the bus driver simply needs to setup
the function pointer in bucket->irq_info->pre_handler and
the two args bucket->irq_info->pre_handler_arg[12].

The Schizo PCI driver is converted over to use a pre-handler
for the DMA write-sync processing it needs when a device
is behind a PCI->PCI bus deeper than the top-level APB
bridges.

While we're here, clean up all of the action allocation
and handling.  Now, we allocate the irqaction as part of
the bucket->irq_info area.  There is an array of 4 irqaction
(for PCI irq sharing) and a bitmask saying which entries
are active.

The bucket->irq_info is allocated at build_irq() time, not
at request_irq() time.  This simplifies request_irq() and
free_irq() tremendously.

The SMP dynamic IRQ retargetting code got removed in this
change too.  It was disabled for a few months now, and we
can resurrect it in the future if we want.
