In the presence of interrupt-remapping, irqs will be migrated in the process context and we don't do (and there is no need to) irq_chip mask/unmask while migrating the interrupt. Similarly fix the fixup_irqs() that get called during cpu offline and avoid calling irq_chip mask/unmask for irqs that are ok to be migrated in the process context. While we didn't observe any race condition with the existing code, this change takes complete advantage of interrupt-remapping in the newer generation platforms and avoids any potential HW lockup's (that often worry Eric :) Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha Acked-by: Eric W.
