1396/bsps * pci/pci.c : Updated it to be consistent with the original pci.c * written by Eric Valette. There is no change in its function. * irq/irq_init.c : set defaultIrq->next_handler to be 0 * for BSP_SHARED_HANDLER_SUPPORT. * network/if_1GHz/if_wm.c : fixed some bugs in the 1GHz driver. * irq/BSP_irq.c : added supports for shared IRQ. * pci/pci_interface.c : Enabled PCI "Read", "Read Line", and "Read Multiple" * Agressive Prefetch to improve the performance of the PCI based * applications (e.g. 1GHz NIC). * irq/BSP_irq.c : Replaced the irq/irq.c, and used GT_GPP_Value * register to monitor the cause of the level sensitive interrupts. * This unique solution solves various bugs in the 1GHz network drivers * Fixed bugs in compute_pic_masks_from_prio()
