[PATCH 5/8] x86/apic: Try to spread IRQ vectors to differentpriority levels

[Alexander Gordeev]

When assigning a new vector it is primarially done by adding 8 to the
previously given out vector number. Hence, two consequently allocated
vector numbers would likely fall into the same priority level. Try to
spread vector numbers to different priority levels better by changing
the step from 8 to 16.
