[RFC][PATCH] irq: restrict the numbers of misrouted interrupt (per second).

[Warner Wang]

The original spurious.c already provides the functionality of
detect & disable screaming interrupts.  But under some situation
the code won't work.  When irq_poll is on and the system has some
ISRs that donât do sanity check and return IRQ_NONE.  This will
come into a loop:  device A is screaming, keeps generates large
amount of interrupts,  while device B's ISR keep being executed by
misrouted irq code (because B's ISR have problem and won't return
as IRQ_NONE.  In this situation the original code to detect the
screaming interrupts will not have a chance to be called.  And the
system performance will be very poor.

This RFC patch tries to solve this problem, by adding a counter for
maximum misrouted interrupts we should handle per second.  And if
we reached the maximum number we simply skip the misrounted irq.

This patch is based on tag v3.12, please give comments on it, all
kinds of comments are welcome.
