Some HW platforms, such as the new cell blades, requires some MPIC sources
to be left alone by the operating system. This implements support for
a "protected-sources" property in the mpic controller node containing a list
of source numbers to be protected against operating system interference.
For those interested in the gory details, the MPIC on the southbridge of
those blades has some of the processor outputs routed to the cell, and
at least one routed as a GPIO to the service processor. It will be used
in the GA product for routing some of the southbridge error interrupts
to the service processor which implements some of the RAS stuff, such
as checkstopping when fatal errors occurs before they can propagate.
