[PATCH v3 03/12] x86/irq: Remove bitfields in posted interrupt descriptor

From: Jacob Pan
Date: Tue Apr 23 2024 - 13:37:29 EST


Mixture of bitfields and types is weird and really not intuitive, remove
bitfields and use typed data exclusively. Bitfields often result in
inferior machine code.

v3:
- Fix a bug where SN bit position was used as the mask, reported by
Oliver Sang.
- Add and use non-atomic helpers to manipulate SN bit
- Use pi_test_sn() instead of open coding
v2:
- Replace bitfields, no more mix.
