genirq handle helper

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt]

Hi Ingo, Thomas !

This simple pach makes the transition easier. By making
generic_handle_irq() call the old __do_IRQ if no new-style handler exist
for a given irq, the transition from old style to new style is made
easier for me. That is, I can have some PICs use the new handler
mecanism while old ones still get __do_IRQ without having the common
powerpc code caring about the type of PIC (it just does
generic_handle_irq()).

Might be useful to others as well, at least until everybody is ported
over.

Cheers,
Ben.
