Subject: [PATCH] i386 irq: Kill NR_IRQ_VECTORS and increase NR_IRQS


Due to hardware and software implementation limits the i386 kernel can
only use 224 or so different IRQs at one time.  However except for
actually having the irqs delivered there are no limits except the
arbitrary number NR_IRQS on how many irqs we can talk about and deal
with.

Frequently not all io_apics inputs are connected to interrupt traces
going to real devices, and since even when they are devices don't
always use all of interrupt traces routed to them.  So it makes sense
to be able to talk about many more irq sources then we can actually
use.

So this patch consolidates NR_IRQS and NR_IRQ_VECTORS into just
NR_IRQS and raises NR_IRQS where appropriate above the number of irqs
we can use at one time. 

Allowing the kernel to work on big machines without complicated
and error prone irq remapping logic.
