[PATCH 0/2] genirq/proc: Speed up show_interrupts()

[Adrian Huang]

Since there are irq number allocation holes, we can jump over those
holes in order to speed up show_interrupts().

In addition, the percpu kstat_irqs access logic can be refined.

System Configuration
====================
  * 2-socket server with 488 cores (HT-enabled).
  * The last allocated irq is 508.
  * nr_irqs = 8360. The following is from dmesg.
     NR_IRQS: 524544, nr_irqs: 8360, preallocated irqs: 16

  The biggest hole: 7852 iterations (8360 - 509 + 1) are not necessary.


Test Result
===========
  * The following result is the average execution time of ten-time
    measurements about `time cat /proc/interrupts`.
