irqchip: Add per-cpu interrupt partitioning library We've unfortunately started seeing a situation where percpu interrupts are partitioned in the system: one arbitrary set of CPUs has an interrupt connected to a type of device, while another disjoint set of CPUs has the same interrupt connected to another type of device. This makes it impossible to have a device driver requesting this interrupt using the current percpu-interrupt abstraction, as the same interrupt number is now potentially claimed by at least two drivers, and we forbid interrupt sharing on per-cpu interrupt. A solution to this is to turn things upside down. Let's assume that our system describes all the possible partitions for a given interrupt, and give each of them a unique identifier. It is then possible to create a namespace where the affinity identifier itself is a form of interrupt number. At this point, it becomes easy to implement a set of partitions as a cascaded irqchip, each affinity identifier being the HW irq. This allows us to keep a number of nice properties: - Each partition results in a separate percpu-interrupt (with a restrictied affinity), which keeps drivers happy. - Because the underlying interrupt is still per-cpu, the overhead of the indirection can be kept pretty minimal. - The core code can ignore most of that crap. For that purpose, we implement a small library that deals with some of the boilerplate code, relying on platform-specific drivers to provide a description of the affinity sets and a set of callbacks.
