sparseirq: work around __weak alias bug
Impact: fix boot crash if the kernel is built with certain GCC versions
GCC has a bug with __weak alias functions: if the functions are in
the same compilation unit as their call site, GCC can decide to
inline them - and thus rob the linker of the opportunity to override
the weak alias with the real thing.
This can lead to the boot crash reported by Kamalesh Babulal:
ACPI: Core revision 20080926
Setting APIC routing to flat
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
0000000000000000
IP: [<ffffffff8021f9a8>] add_pin_to_irq_cpu+0x14/0x74
PGD 0
Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP
[...]
So move the arch_init_chip_data() function from handle.c to manage.c.
