Yinghai Lu 0b8f1efad3 sparse irq_desc[] array: core kernel and x86 changes
Impact: new feature

Problem on distro kernels: irq_desc[NR_IRQS] takes megabytes of RAM with
NR_CPUS set to large values. The goal is to be able to scale up to much
larger NR_IRQS value without impacting the (important) common case.

To solve this, we generalize irq_desc[NR_IRQS] to an (optional) array of
irq_desc pointers.

When CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y is used, we use kzalloc_node to get irq_desc,
this also makes the IRQ descriptors NUMA-local (to the site that calls
request_irq()).

This gets rid of the irq_cfg[] static array on x86 as well: irq_cfg now
uses desc->chip_data for x86 to store irq_cfg.
