irqchip/GIC: Convert to EOImode == 1
So far, GICv2 has been used with EOImode == 0. The effect of this
mode is to perform the priority drop and the deactivation of the
interrupt at the same time.
While this works perfectly for Linux (we only have a single priority),
it causes issues when an interrupt is forwarded to a guest, and when
we want the guest to perform the EOI itself.
For this case, the GIC architecture provides EOImode == 1, where:
- A write to the EOI register drops the priority of the interrupt
and leaves it active. Other interrupts at the same priority level
can now be taken, but the active interrupt cannot be taken again
- A write to the DIR marks the interrupt as inactive, meaning it can
now be taken again.
We only enable this feature when booted in HYP mode and that
the device-tree reported a suitable CPU interface. Observable behaviour
should remain unchanged.
