x86: Increase NR_IRQS and nr_irqs

Browse source 
I have a system with lots of igb and ixgbe, when iov/vf are
enabled for them, we hit the limit of 3064.

when system has 20 pcie installed, and one card has 2
functions, and one function needs 64 msi-x,
 may need 20 * 2 * 64 = 2560 for msi-x

but if iov and vf are enabled
 may need 20 * 2 * 64 * 3 = 7680 for msi-x
assume system with 5 ioapic, nr_irqs_gsi will be 120.

NR_CPUS = 512, and nr_cpu_ids = 128
will have NR_IRQS = 256 + 512 * 64 = 33024
will have nr_irqs = 120 + 8 * 128 + 120 * 64 = 8824

When SPARSE_IRQ is not set, there is no increase with kernel data
size.

when NR_CPUS=128, and SPARSE_IRQ is set:
   text		   data	    bss		   dec		 hex	filename
21837444	4216564	12480736	38534744	24bfe58	vmlinux.before
21837442	4216580	12480736	38534758	24bfe66	vmlinux.after
when NR_CPUS=4096, and SPARSE_IRQ is set
   text		   data	    bss		   dec		 hex	filename
21878619	5610244	13415392	40904255	270263f	vmlinux.before
