Hi Jeremy,

Here tis... Christophe was kind enough to test it for me.  (I believe
he said you were on vacation, though he did mention that you had some
changes in the queue?)

Thanks!

Subject: xen: reduce static memory usage

Impact: reduce memory usage

By allocating the irq_info and irq_bindcount based
on nr_irqs instead of NR_IRQS, it will contain only
enough entries as needed by the running system.

This addresses this memory bump when NR_CPUS bumped
from 128 to 4096:

  17408   132096  +114688  +658%  irq_info(.bss)
  17408   132096  +114688  +658%  irq_bindcount(.bss)

This is only effective when CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQS=y.
