Hrm, it would probably be better to give xics_alloc_block() an Error
** argument so it can report errors using the new API.

TBH the whole xics_alloc_block() interface is kind of dubious, or at
least the ics_find_free_block() part of it.  Dynamically allocating
irqs to devices is basically awful for migration, so it's better to
have fixed allocations of all interrupts at the machine level.
