Subject: [PATCH 1/2 v2] x86, irq: get correct available vectors for cpu disable

From: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@...nel.org>

check_irq_vectors_for_cpu_disable() may overestimate the number of
available vectors assigned to a cpu.  This can cause cpu remove to
erroneously fail.

commit da6139e49c7cb0f4251265cb5243b8d220adb48d,  x86: Add check for
number of available vectors before CPU down, introduces a check to see if
there are enough empty vectors in the system to replace a downed cpu's
vectors.  Code inspection shows that the range used in the check
(currently from FIRST_EXTERNAL_VECTOR to NR_VECTORS) is incorrect and
should be FIRST_EXTERNAL_VECTOR to first_system_vector.  The value of
first_system_vector is decremented when system vectors are assigned in
alloc_system_vector().

The check_irq_vectors_for_cpu_disable() check also does not take into
account the first 32 system vectors which are not managed in the per_cpu
vector_irq arrays, including IA32_SYSCALL_VECTOR (0x80) and the
IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR (0x20).
