sh: intc: userimask support.
This adds support for hardware-assisted userspace irq masking for special priority levels. Due to the SR.IMASK interactivity, only some platforms implement this in hardware (including but not limited to SH-4A interrupt controllers, and ARM-based SH-Mobile CPUs). Each CPU needs to wire this up on its own, for now only SH7786 is wired up as an example. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

+ This enables support for hardware-assisted userspace hardirq
+ masking.
+
+ SH-4A and newer interrupt blocks all support a special shadowed
+ page with all non-masking registers obscured when mapped in to
+ userspace. This is primarily for use by userspace device
+ drivers that are using special priority levels.
+
+ If in doubt, say N.
