Subject: [RFC/PATCHv2] kernel/irq: allow more precise irq affinity policies


SGI has encountered situations where particular CPUs run out of 
interrupt vectors on systems with many (several hundred or more) 
CPUs. This happens because some drivers (particularly the mlx4_core 
driver) select the number of interrupts they allocate based on the 
number of CPUs, and because of how the default irq affinity is used.

The following patch allows for a more precise policy about how irq 
affinities are assigned by the kernel.

Changes from version 1:

	- IRQ_POLICY_NUMA is implemented

	- The 'irq_policy' can be changed at runtime, and interrupts 
	  redistributed according to the new policy. Notifications are 
	  sent when this happens.

Signed-off-by: Arthur Kepner <akepner@....com>
