Subject: [PATCH 0/3] x86/irq: Refactor special vector definition and cleanup

Currently special(system) irq definition layout is a bit random, due to quite
a long period of code shuffle and refactorization, making native_init_IRQ()
quit hard to follow.

Besides, there are also some leftovers on the vector layout comment.
For example, INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTOR_START vectors have gone by using generic IPI 
mechanism(see commit 52aec3308db8). VSYSCALL_EMU_VECTOR is also gone because
vsyscalls are emulated by instruction fault traps(see commit 3ae36655b97a).

This patch set aims at refactoring the speical vector defnition and do some cleanup.

*** Test done ***
This patch set has been rebased on tip/master and have done build test and run it
for hours, doing daily jobs, and found no problem.

Jianyu Zhan (3):
  x86/asm/irq: Rearrange definitoin of specical irq vectors and cleanup.
  x86/irq: refactor native_init_IRQ
  x86/irq: update first_system_vector only when X86_LOCAL_PIC is on
