    Rewrite i386 interrupt handling · abf0cd3d

    Rewrite interrupt handling functionality for the i386 port. Separated
    functionality into separate CPU and Architecture components.
    
    It appears as if the i386 interrupt handler functionality was intended
    to allow multiple handlers to be installed for a given interrupt.
    Unfortunately, this functionality was not fully implemented and also
    had the problem that irq_free_handler() does not allow the passing
    of the handler function pointer and therefore could never be used to
    free specific handlers that had been installed for a given IRQ.
    
    There were also various issues with array bounds not being fully
    tested.
    
    I had two objectives in mind for the new implementation:
    
    1) Keep the implementation as similar as possible to existing
       implementations. To that end, I have used the leon2/3
       implementations as the reference
    
    2) Seperate CPU and Architecture specific elements. All specific i386
       interrupt functionality is now in cpu/i386/ with the high level
       API and architecture specific code in lib_i386. Functionality
       specific to the PC/AT architecture (i.e. cascaded i8259 PICs) has
       been further split out into an individual file to allow for the
       implementation of the PIC architecture of the SC520 CPU (supports
       more IRQs)
