[PATCH v3 2/2] vsmp: Ignore IOAPIC IRQ affinity if possible

From: Ido Yariv
Date: Sat Jun 02 2012 - 18:12:57 EST


From: Ravikiran Thirumalai <kiran.thirumalai@xxxxxxxxx>

vSMP can route interrupts more optimally based on internal knowledge the
OS does not have. In order to support this optimization, all CPUs must
be able to handle all possible IOAPIC interrupts.

Fix this by setting the vector allocation domain for all CPUs and by
enabling this feature in vSMP.
