[Xen-devel] [GIT PATCH 0/14] xen: events: cleanups + ween off nr_irqs

[Ian Campbell <Ian.Campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The following series makes a few cleanups to the Xen IRQ infrastructure.
The most important thing is that it removes the need to know about
nr_irqs and in particular the reliance on nr_irqs being static.

Apart from being generally a good thing this is needed because in 2.6.39
nr_irqs will be able to grow dynamically, specifically e7bcecb7b1d2
"genirq: Make nr_irqs runtime expandable" from tip/core/irq is targeted
at 2.6.39.

Dynamically growing nr_irqs also allows us to remove the workaround
which eats into GSI space if a dynamic IRQ cannot be allocated.

There is no ideal sequencing of this series vs e7bcecb7b1d2 (most should
have gone in before, but the penultimate patch really needed to be
simultaneous) so I haven't bothered to try and pull anything from tip
into this branch -- it should all be resolved during the merge window
and bisection won't be too broken since the "eat into GSI space"
workaround only appears to be needed on a small number of older
platforms (qemu being the main exception).

I have tested:
      * Domain 0 on real h/w and under qemu
      * PV guest, including migration and passthrough of both VF and PF.
      * PVHVM guest, including migration and passthrough of both VF and
        PF.

The git pull is a branch on top of konrad/stable/irq.cleanup. However
there is an interaction with konrad/devel/xen-pciback-0.4.driver (the
addition of the domid parameter) so for convenience I have also produced
an irq-pciback branch at the same location which has
konrad/devel/xen-pciback-0.4.driver merged into this branch.

Note that this series obsoletes an older patcho f mine "xen: events:
mark cpu_evtchn_mask_p as __refdata" by virtue of removing the code in
question...
