I was just about to reassure you that there is no bug here... but then I 
read the code.

gic_handle_fiq_ipi() was *supposed* to do a check to make it safe to 
call when there is no gic meaning multi-platform support could be 
achieved by calling into multiple handlers.

It looks like I forgot to write the code that would make this possible. 
Maybe I was too disgusted with the approach to implement it correctly. 
Looking at this with fresher eyes (I've been having a bit of a break 
from FIQ recently) I can see how bad the current approach is.

It should certainly work although it feels odd to reuse the IRQ handler 
for FIQ.

All other comments below are fine. I'll fix these.
