Subject: [PATCH 0/4] irq: change irq_desc and kstat_irq_legacy to variable sized arrays


The following patches change irq_desc and kstat_irq_legacy into
variable sized arrays based on nr_cpu_ids when CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQS=y.

    irq: change references from NR_IRQS to nr_irqs
    irq: allocate irq_desc_ptrs array based on nr_irqs
    irq: initialize nr_irqs based on nr_cpu_ids
    kstat: modify kstat_irqs_legacy to be variable sized

Based on: tip/cpus4096 @ v2.6.28-6140-g36c401a

(Ingo - I will push these to your tip/cpus4096 branch via my cpus4096-for-ingo
	git tree.)
