Actually, that whole branch could go in now, especially since Thomas
picked up the stable IRQ numbers assignment during s/r fix:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/tip-3eec595235c17a74094daa1e02d1b0af2e9a7125@git.kernel.org

@tglx: I don't know about IOAPIC reference count:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1407209178-18644-3-git-send-email-jiang.liu@linux.intel.com

This looks like a bugfix too.

With those two applied, tip/x86/apic is good to go IMHO. The only thing
that remains are the IOMMU IOPFs which we'll deal accordingly later -
they need shutting up only anyway.
