[1/3] dynamically allocate IRQ stacks

From: Bill Irwin
Date: Mon Apr 30 2007 - 19:37:37 EST


Dynamically allocate IRQ stacks in order to conserve memory when using
IRQ stacks. cpu_possible_map is not now initialized in such a manner as
to provide a meaningful indication of how many CPU's might be in the
system, and features to appear in the sequel also require indirection,
so they themselves are not allocatable as per_cpu variables, but rather
only pointers to them.
