This patch remove the hardcoded link between local timers and PPIs,
and convert the PPI users (TWD, MCT and MSM timers) to the new
*_percpu_irq interface. Also some collateral cleanup
(local_timer_ack() is gone, and the interrupt handler is strictly
private to each driver).
PPIs are now useable for more than just the local timers.
Additional testing by David Brown (msm8250 and msm8660) and
Shawn Guo (imx6q).

When a CPU is hot unplugged, the generic tick code cleans up the
clock event device, but fails to call down to the device's set_mode
function to actually shut the device down.
To work around this, we've historically had a local_timer_stop()
callback out of the hotplug code. However, this adds needless
complexity when we have the clock event device itself available.
Explicitly call the clock event device's set_mode function with
CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED, so that the hardware can be cleanly shutdown
without any special external callbacks. When/if the generic code
is fixed, percpu_timer_stop() can be killed off.

This moves the TWD register set of MPcore to a common
existing file so that watchdog driver can access it
