static int irq_alloc_vector(const struct cpumask *dest, bool resvd, unsigned int *cpu)
{
int vector = irq_matrix_alloc(vector_matrix, dest, resvd, cpu);

if (vector > 0)
apic_drv_update_vector(*cpu, vector, true);
return vector;
}

Perhaps?

Fair enough.

If you need 20 lines of horrific comments to explain incomprehensible
macros and code, then something is fundamentally wrong. Then you want to
sit back and think about whether this can't be expressed in simple and
obvious ways. Let's look at the math.

The relevant registers are starting at regs[SAVIC_ALLOWED_IRR]. Due to
the 16-byte alignment the vector number obviously cannot be used for
linear bitmap addressing.

But the resulting bit number can be trivially calculated with:

bit = vector + 32 * (vector / 32);

which can be converted to:

bit = vector + (vector & ~0x1f);

That conversion should be done by any reasonable compiler.

Ergo the whole thing can be condensed to:

static void x2apic_savic_update_vector(unsigned int cpu, unsigned int vector, bool set)
{
struct apic_page *ap = per_cpu_ptr(apic_backing_page, cpu);
unsigned long *sirr = (unsigned long *) &ap->regs[SAVIC_ALLOWED_IRR];

/*
* The registers are 32-bit wide and 16-byte aligned.
* Compensate for the resulting bit number spacing.
*/
unsigned int bit = vector + 32 * (vector / 32);

if (set)
set_bit(vec_bit, sirr);
else
clear_bit(vec_bit, sirr);
}

Two comment lines plus one line of trivial math makes this
comprehensible and obvious. No?

If you need that adjustment for other places as well, then you can
provide a trivial and documented inline function for it.
