powerpc: Handle simultaneous interrupts at once

Browse source 
It often happens to have simultaneous interrupts, for instance
when having double Ethernet attachment. With the current
implementation, we suffer the cost of kernel entry/exit for each
interrupt.

This patch introduces a loop in __do_irq() to handle all interrupts
at once before returning.
