Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86: get more exact nr_irqs



first check with NR_VECTORS - FIRST_EXTERNAL_VECTOR - 0x20
aka minus exceptions and system vectors.

NR_CPUS = 512, and nr_cpu_ids = 128
will have NR_IRQS = 256 + 512 * 64 = 33024

assume we have 20 intel ixgbe 6 port cards (with sriov and ixgbevf)
	20 * 6 * 64 * 3 = 23040

first will get:
	128 * (256 - 64) = 24576
then with nr_irqs_gsi will get
	(120 + 8 * 128 + 120 * 256) = 31864

so 24576 will be used for nr_irqs.

24576 * 8 = 196608 bytes will be used for irq_desc_ptrs[]

before this patch:
    have nr_irqs = 120 + 8 * 128 + 120 * 64 = 8824
	and irq_desc_ptrs[] is 70592
