It's just a kind of hack to workaround the fact that our current percpu irq handler assumed
all percpu irqs are edge triggered or fasteoi type.
However MIPS processor implemented it in level triggered way.
My solution would be add a check. If neither ack nor eoi exist for the chip,
than we assume it's level triggered and process precpu irq in mask/unmask way.
Could it be a possible option?
Thanks.
