This is completely overengineered. The simple patch below does not need
conditionals and atomics, is unconditional and completely avoids this
bitmap hackery.

On a VM with 144 VCPUs and nr_irqs=1576 and a loop of 5000 readouts of
/proc/stat (python):

  Before       	       After
  real	0m1.331s       0m0.728s	 -45.3%
  user	0m0.415s       0m0.359s  -13.5%
  sys	0m0.914s       0m0.356s  -61.1%

Hmm?

Thanks,

	tglx
