[34-longterm 031/260] xen: use percpu interrupts for IPIs and VIRQs

From: Paul Gortmaker
Date: Sun Jan 02 2011 - 03:11:51 EST


From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit aaca49642b92c8a57d3ca5029a5a94019c7af69f upstream.

IPIs and VIRQs are inherently per-cpu event types, so treat them as such:
- use a specific percpu irq_chip implementation, and
- handle them with handle_percpu_irq

This makes the path for delivering these interrupts more efficient
(no masking/unmasking, no locks), and it avoid problems with attempts
to migrate them.
