irqdomain: Allow quiet failure mode
Some interrupt controllers refuse to map interrupts marked as "protected" by firwmare. Since we try to map everyting in the device-tree on some platforms, we end up with a lot of nasty WARN's in the boot log for what is a normal situation on those machines. This defines a specific return code (-EPERM) from the host map() callback which cause irqdomain to fail silently. MPIC is updated to return this when hitting a protected source printing only a single line message for diagnostic purposes. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
