They all use pending register to get irq num and use enable register to
mask/unmask.

This is a level-triger interrupt controller at first, but we want it
to support pulse signal. It means that when the pulse signal coming,
the pending register will hold signals without clear the IFR reg.

Some C-SKY cpu's socs need this feature to support pulse interrupt
signal.

Ok.
I'll retain the above, because only a few socs use support-pulse-signal.
