... and one more from me: isn't it time to let IO-APIC id be 8 bit in the
asm/io_apic.h (make it a union fot both?..)?
Look what I have to do in io_apic.h to get around it and ... "mister, have a
heart":
=========================================
struct IO_APIC_reg_00 {
__u32 __reserved_2 : 24,
ID : 4,
__reserved_1 : 4;
} __attribute__ ((packed));
#ifdef CONFIG_ES7000
struct IO_APIC_reg_00_1 {
__u32 __reserved_2 : 24,
ID : 8;
} __attribute__ ((packed));
#endif /* CONFIG_ES7000 */
=========================================
and then in io_apic.c:
=========================================
#ifdef CONFIG_ES7000
struct IO_APIC_reg_00_1 reg_00_1;
unsigned long *reg_00_p;
if (es7000_plat)
reg_00_p = (unsigned long *)®_00_1;
else
reg_00_p = (unsigned long *)®_00;
#endif /*CONFIG_ES7000*/
.......
#ifndef CONFIG_ES7000
*(int *)®_00 = io_apic_read(apic, 0);
#else
*(int *)reg_00_p = io_apic_read(apic, 0);
#endif /*CONFIG_ES7000*/
.....
====================================================

I strongly suggest to take a look in IA64 implementation.
They have 1:1 correspondence between IRQ and vector and don't seem to be
able to run out of vectors or IRQs.
