Subject: [GIT pull] irq fix for 4.19

Linus,

please pull the latest irq-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git irq-urgent-for-linus

A single fix to prevent allocating excessive memory in the GIC/ITS driver.
While the subject of the patch might suggest otherwise this is a real fix
as some SoCs exceed the memory allocation limits and fail to boot.

Thanks,

	tglx
