[PATCH 0/2] IRQ affinity reverse-mapping

[Ben Hutchings]

This patch series is intended to support queue selection on multiqueue
IRQ-per-queue network devices (accelerated RFS and XPS-MQ) and
potentially queue selection for other classes of multiqueue device.

The first patch implements IRQ affinity notifiers, based on the outline
that Thomas wrote in response to my earlier patch series for accelerated RFS.

The second patch is a generalisation of the CPU affinity reverse-
mapping, plus functions to maintain such a mapping based on the new IRQ
affinity notifiers.

I would like to be able to use this functionality in networking for
2.6.38.  Thomas, if you are happy with this, could these changes go
through net-next-2.6?  Alternately, if Linus pulls from linux-2.6-tip
and David pulls from Linus during the merge window, I can (re-)submit
the dependent changes after that.

Ben.
