I don't think this is a good idea. In general, people have no idea
which interrupt controller they need to select. So you either end-up
with a missing interrupt controller, or a bunch you really don't need.

This is essentially a platform constraint, and this should directly be
selected by the platform if you have this IP in your system.

Thanks,

	M.
