All the functions that send an SGI takes an enum. Therefore checking everytime

Introduce GIC_SGI_MAX to check the enum will never reach more than 16 values.
This is fix the compilation with Clang 3.5:
gic.c:515:15: error: comparison of constant 16 with expression of type 'enum
gic_sgi' is always true [-Werror,-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare]
ASSERT(sgi < 16); /* There are only 16 SGIs */
~~~ ^ ~~
xen/xen/include/xen/lib.h:43:26: note: expanded from macro 'ASSERT'
do { if ( unlikely(!(p)) ) assert_failed(#p); } while (0)
^
xen/xen/include/xen/compiler.h:11:41: note: expanded from macro 'unlikely'
#define unlikely(x) __builtin_expect((x),0)

These new checks wouldn't be able to cover the following case, while the
previous check could:
enum gic_sgi sgi = (enum gic_sgi) integer_greater_than_16;
send_SGI_mask(something, sgi);
Why people would do that?
I think instead of an ASSERT, sgi & 0xff might better. It won't be
harmless for the GIC, even debug is turned off. Right now, the
developper can put the GIC in wrong state if the value is not in this range.
If people wants to give a number instead of an enum, let them go to the
hell! They should have used the right type.
