commit 4ce98bf0865c349e7026ad9c14f48da264920953 upstream.

It appears that there is nothing in the wake-up path that
evaluates whether the in-kernel interrupts are pending unless
we have a vgic.

This means that the userspace irqchip support has been broken for
about four years, and nobody noticed. It was also broken before
as we wouldn't wake-up on a PMU interrupt, but hey, who cares...

It is probably time to remove the feature altogether, because it
was a terrible idea 10 years ago, and it still is.
