merged it up to x86.git - see below. Alan, have no tried to build, let
alone boot it. Does it look good to you?

Subject: x83: i386 IOAPIC: de-fang IRQ compression
From: ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Eric W. Biederman)

Due to hardware and software implementation limits the i386 kernel
can only use 224 or so different IRQs at one time. However except
for actually having the irqs delivered there are no limits except
the arbitrary number NR_IRQS on how many irqs we can talk about
and deal with.

Frequently not all io_apics inputs are connected to interrupt traces
going to real devices, and since even when they are devices don't
always use all of interrupt traces routed to them. So it makes
sense to be able to talk about many more irq sources then we can
actually use.

So this patch consolidates NR_IRQS and NR_IRQ_VECTORS into just
NR_IRQS and raises NR_IRQS where appropriate above the number of
irqs we can use at one time.

Allowing the kernel to work on big machines without complicated
and error prone irq remapping logic.
