abab912813 x86: mpspec: Allow platform to determine how PIRQ is connected to I/O APIC
Currently during writing MP table I/O interrupt assignment entry, we
assume the PIRQ is directly mapped to I/O APIC INTPIN#16-23, which
however is not always the case on some platforms.

07545d861c x86: Generate a valid MultiProcessor (MP) table
Implement write_mp_table() to create a minimal working MP table.
This includes an MP floating table, a configuration table header
and all of the 5 base configuration table entries. The I/O interrupt
assignment table entry is created based on the same information used
in the creation of PIRQ routing table from device tree. A check
duplicated entry logic is applied to prevent writing multiple I/O
interrupt entries with the same information.

Use a Kconfig option GENERATE_MP_TABLE to tell U-Boot whether we
need actually write the MP table at the F seg, just like we did for
PIRQ routing and SFI tables. With MP table existence, linux kernel
will switch to I/O APIC and local APIC to process all the peripheral
interrupts instead of 8259 PICs. This takes full advantage of the
multicore hardware and the SMP kernel.

7f5df8d42d x86: Add MultiProcessor (MP) table APIs
The MP table provides a way for the operating system to support
for symmetric multiprocessing as well as symmetric I/O interrupt
handling with the local APIC and I/O APIC. We provide a bunch of
APIs for U-Boot to write the floating table, configuration table
header as well as base and extended table entries.
