      sparseirq: work around __weak alias bug · b2e2fe99

      Impact: fix boot crash if the kernel is built with certain GCC versions
      
      GCC has a bug with __weak alias functions: if the functions are in
      the same compilation unit as their call site, GCC can decide to
      inline them - and thus rob the linker of the opportunity to override
      the weak alias with the real thing.
      
      This can lead to the boot crash reported by Kamalesh Babulal:

      So move the arch_init_chip_data() function from handle.c to manage.c.
