Subject: [PATCH -tip] x86: do_IRQ - send EOI for x86-32 on irq without
	handler v2

If IRQ has no handler it remains non-Ack'ed even if APIC is not
requested for being disabled. Fix it.

|more stuff needs fixing here first:
|
|arch/x86/kernel/irq.c: In function ‘do_IRQ’:
|arch/x86/kernel/irq.c:226: error: ‘disable_apic’ undeclared (first use in this
|function)
|arch/x86/kernel/irq.c:226: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only
|once
|arch/x86/kernel/irq.c:226: error: for each function it appears in.)
|
|like making 'disable_apic' available everywhere.
|
|Or better yet: introduce a dummy apic->write() method in the
|disable_apic=1 case so we can call a straight ack_APIC_irq().

Ingo, I think introducing additional dummy here would be a bit
expencive -- a number of callers of ack_APIC_irq just should not
check for disable_apic since it's not needed. disable_apic is to
depend on CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC rather then CONFIG_X86_64 actually.
So make it then. Or you mean something else? Like new apic->write_eoi
operation? (I'm a bit tired so brain is a half functional now :)
