powerpc/cell/axon-msi: Retry on missing interrupt 

The MSI capture logic for the axon bridge can sometimes
lose interrupts in case of high DMA and interrupt load,
when it signals an MSI interrupt to the MPIC interrupt
controller while we are already handling another MSI.

Each MSI vector gets written into a FIFO buffer in main
memory using DMA, and that DMA access is normally flushed
by the actual interrupt packet on the IOIF.  An MMIO
register in the MSIC holds the position of the last
entry in the FIFO buffer that was written.  However,
reading that position does not flush the DMA, so that
we can observe stale data in the buffer.

In a stress test, we have observed the DMA to arrive
up to 14 microseconds after reading the register.

This patch works around this problem by retrying the
access to the FIFO buffer.

We can reliably detect the conditioning by writing
an invalid MSI vector into the FIFO buffer after
reading from it, assuming that all MSIs we get
are valid.  After detecting an invalid MSI vector,
we udelay(1) in the interrupt cascade for up to
100 times before giving up.
