Subject: [PATCH v3 7/8] x86/irq: WARN_ONCE() if irq_move_cleanup is called on a pending interrupt

From: "H. Peter Anvin (Intel)" <hpa@...or.com>

The current IRQ vector allocation code should be "clean" and never
issue a IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR IPI for an interrupt that could still
be pending. This should make it possible to move it to the "normal"
system IRQ vector range. This should probably be a three-step process:

1. Introduce this WARN_ONCE() on this event ever occurring.
2. Remove the self-IPI hack.
3. Move the IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR to the sysvec range.

This implements step 1.

[ Previous versions of this patch had steps 2 and 3 reversed. ]
