Subject: [patch 104/101] x86-64: survive having no irq mapping for a vector

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@...ssion.com>

Occasionally the kernel has bugs that result in no irq being found for a
given cpu vector.  If we acknowledge the irq the system has a good chance
of continuing even though we dropped an irq message.  If we continue to
simply print a message and not acknowledge the irq the system is likely to
become non-responsive shortly there after.

AK: Fixed compilation for UP kernels
