CoreInt provides a mechansim to deliver the IRQ vector directly

in interrupt latency by reducing the time to get the IRQ vector.

* Fixed MPIC_GREG_GCONF_COREINT flag to be 0x60000000 as per spec and pointed about by Dave

Are you sure ? That's 2 bits ...

Yeah.  We expanded the mode field to two bits (mask would be 0x60000000)

0x00 = pass through (interrupts routed to IRQ0)
0x01 = Mixed mode
0x10 = reserved
0x11 = External proxy / coreint
