Subject: [PATCH 1/2] genirq/proc: Try to jump over the unallocated irq hole whenever possible

From: Adrian Huang <ahuang12@...ovo.com>

Current approach blindly iterates the irq number until the number is
greater than 'nr_irqs', and checks if each irq is allocated. It is
inefficient if the big hole (the last allocated irq number to nr_irqs)
is available in the system.

The solution is to try jumping over the unallocated irq hole when an
unallocated irq is detected.
