Subject: [PATCH 0/19] Improve IRQ remapping abstraction in x86 core code

Hi,

here is a patch-set to clean-up and the x86 APIC and IO-APIC code from
special cases for interrupt remapping. The problems are mostly solved by
introducing new function pointers to the x86_msi_ops and x86_io_apic_ops
which are changed when interrupt remapping gets enabled.

With this patch-set all checks for irq_remapping_enabled and
irq_remapped() happen only in the IRQ remapping specific code. A few
CONFIG_IRQ_REMAP checks are gone as well. The patches are based on Linux
v3.6-rc1.

The code was tested on various machines (AMD and Intel based) with and
without IRQ remapping in use. I have found no issues so far, but broader
testing is certainly necessary.

For anyone interested in a git-tree I pushed this code to

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu.git ioapic-cleanups

Comments appreciated :-)

Regards,
	
	Joerg
