[PATCH v2 3/9] x86/irq: remove unused vectors from <asm/irq_vectors.h>

From: H. Peter Anvin
Date: Fri May 14 2021 - 21:44:38 EST


From: "H. Peter Anvin (Intel)" <hpa@xxxxxxxxx>

UV_BAU_MESSAGE is defined but not used anywhere in the
kernel. Presumably this is a stale vector number that can be
reclaimed.

MCE_VECTOR is not an actual vector: #MC is an exception, not an
interrupt vector, and as such is correctly described as
X86_TRAP_MC. MCE_VECTOR is not used anywhere is the kernel.

Note that NMI_VECTOR *is* used; specifically it is the vector number
programmed into the APIC LVT when an NMI interrupt is configured. At
the moment it is always numerically identical to X86_TRAP_NMI, that is
not necessarily going to be the case indefinitely.
