Subject: [PATCH] kvm: irqchip: Break up high order allocations of kvm_irq_routing_table

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@...e.de>

The allocation size of the kvm_irq_routing_table depends on
the number of irq routing entries because they are all
allocated with one kzalloc call.

When the irq routing table gets bigger this requires high
order allocations which fail from time to time:

	qemu-kvm: page allocation failure: order:4, mode:0xd0

This patch fixes this issue by breaking up the allocation of
the table and its entries into individual kzalloc calls.
These could all be satisfied with order-0 allocations, which
are less likely to fail.

The downside of this change is the lower performance, because
of more calls to kzalloc. But given how often kvm_set_irq_routing
is called in the lifetime of a guest, it doesn't really
matter much.
