[patch] x86, irq: don't block IRQ0_VECTOR..IRQ15_VECTOR's on allcpu's

From: Suresh Siddha
Date: Tue Jan 19 2010 - 15:22:20 EST


Currently IRQ0..IRQ15 are assigned to IRQ0_VECTOR..IRQ15_VECTOR's on
all the cpu's.

If these IRQ's are handled by legacy pic controller, then the kernel
handles them only on cpu 0. So there is no need to block this vector
space on all cpu's.

Similarly if these IRQ's are handled by IO-APIC, then the irq affinity
will determine on which cpu's we need allocate the vector resource for that
particular IRQ. This can be done dynamically and here also there is no need
to block 16 vectors for IRQ0..IRQ15 on all cpu's.

Fix this by initially assigning IRQ0..IRQ15 to IRQ0_VECTOR..IRQ15_VECTOR's only
on cpu 0. If the legacy controllers like pic handles these irq's, then
this configuration will be fixed. If more modern controllers like IO-APIC
handle these IRQ's, then we start with this configuration and as IRQ's
migrate, vectors (/and cpu's) associated with these IRQ's change dynamically.

This will freeup the block of 16 vectors on other cpu's which don't handle
IRQ0..IRQ15, which can now be used for other IRQ's that the particular cpu
handle.
