[Patch Part1 V2 00/29] use irqdomain to dynamically allocate IRQ for IOAPIC

[Jiang Liu]

On x86 platforms, IRQ number are statically allocated to IOAPIC pins at boot.
There are two issues with this design. First it causes trouble to IOAPIC
hotplug because we need to allocate a block of IRQ numbers for each IOAPIC.
Second it may waste IRQ nubmers even if some IOAPIC pins are not used because
IRQ numbers are statically assigned.

This patchset tries to enable dynamic IRQ number allocation for IOAPIC
by adopting the irqdomain framework, it solves the two issues mentioned
above. It also simplifies the IOAPIC driver by consolidating ways to
program IOAPIC pins with the irqdomain map interface.

We will enhance the IOAPIC driver core to support ACPI based IOAPIC hotplug
once the IOAPIC driver has been converted to irqdomain.

This patchset applies to tip/irq/core and has been tested on a two socket 64
bit Intel platforms with:
1) ACPI and mpparse enabled (boot successfully)
2) Mpparse enabled with ACPI disabled (boot successfully)
3) ACPI enabled with Mpparse disabled (boot successfully)

It also builds successfully (but without booting due to hardware resource
constraints) for 32 bit platforms with following configuraitons:
1) IOAPIC diabled
2) SFI enabled
3) devicetree (CE4100) enabled

TODO list:
1) check whether it affects Xen or not

Patch 1 is simple bugfix for MSI.

Patch 2-16 are trivial code improvements, bugfixes and preparation.

Patch 17-23 enable basic irqdomain support and IRQ number dynamic
allocation.

Patch 24-28 consoldate the way to program IOAPIC pins by using
irqdomain map() interface.

Patch 29 cleans up unused interfaces and functions in IOAPIC driver.

Tests and comments are warmly welcomed!

V1->V2
1) Rebase to tip/irq/core
2) reorder patches to put bugfixes at the head
3) fix bug in handling shared ISA IRQs
4) refine commit messages
