make create_irq to get irq according to bus/dev/func/vector


Hm... I tried to check this in as a separate topic branch, but it conflicts against both linus and against tip:x86/core, which are the branches we usually base topic branches on.

I really am not convinced about the whole dyn_array concept, and *especially* not having divergences between 32 and 64 bits with regards to sparse IRQs. Furthermore, there are a number of checkpatch errors for this patch series, most of which appear legit.

So again... any reason to not just have sparse IRQs and be done with it?
