I keep thinking that there ought to be *some* commonality between the
platforms that use FIQs if only in the timer stuff at least.  Part of
the reason that doesn't get factored out is that it's normally just a
temporary bodge until DMA is working of course, though Qualcomm do it
because their DMA for the DSP doesn't fit well with dmaengine and the
i.MX AC'97 needs it since the hardware doesn't fully understand AC'97.
