Hi, Thomas,

While going through the code for kill irq_reserve_irqs(), I found that
there is irq_reserve_irq().

in include/linux/irq.h

static inline int irq_reserve_irq(unsigned int irq)
{
        return irq_reserve_irqs(irq, 1);
}

it is called via kernel/irq/chip.c::irq_set_chip().

        /*
         * For !CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ make the irq show up in
         * allocated_irqs. For the CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ case, it is
         * already marked, and this call is harmless.
         */
        irq_reserve_irq(irq);

There are tens of irq_set_chip... calling for arches that does not
support SPARSE_IRQ yet, and they does not use  irq_alloc_desc()
anywhere.

so how about change those irq_reserve_irq to irq_set_allocated_irqs() and
leave them there?

Thanks

Yinghai
