Subject: [PATCH] sparseirq: Increase nr_irqs if needed


only do that when we need more.

For x86_64 system:
when we have 128 cpus with 5 ioapics, will have nr_irqs = 3064
	120 + 8 * 128 + 120 * 16
systems could take 20 pcie,  when intel 10g are used with
sriov and ixgbevf, every vf will need 3 irqs, and one device
have 64 vf. so will need 20 * 3 * 64 = 3840.
some 6 ports Intel 10gb may need more.

with this patch, nr_irqs will increase 25% every time if nr_irqs is not
big enough.

Also later We could change nr_irqs initial value to
	 min(nr_irqs_gsi, 224*nr_cpu_ids).
for x86.
