Yinghai, no objection to the patch ... but how about


used_vectors is a bitmap for global irqs; it tracks the non per_cpu
irq_vectors in vector_irq. used_vectors contains information on the first 32
exceptions (0 to 0x1f), the system vectors near the first system vector
(0xfe), the IA32_SYSCALL_VECTOR (0x80), and the IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR (0x20)

assign_irq_vectors() assigns vectors up to first_system_vector (0xfe) and
sets the used_vectors bit for each assigned vector. Currently, the
IRQ checking code only scans from the FIRST_EXTERNAL_VECTOR to the end of
the vectors. This patch modifies the code to scan to first_system_vector
and do a test on the used_vectors bitmap.

... what do you think?
