[PATCH 4/4] kstat: modify kstat_irqs_legacy to be variable sized

From: Mike Travis
Date: Sat Jan 10 2009 - 17:38:43 EST


Impact: reduce memory usage.

Allocate kstat_irqs_legacy based on nr_cpu_ids to deal with this
memory usage bump when NR_CPUS bumped from 128 to 4096:

8192 +253952 262144 +3100% kstat_irqs_legacy(.bss)

This is only when CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQS=y.
