Jiang Liu f8264e3496 irqdomain: Introduce new interfaces to support hierarchy irqdomains
We plan to use hierarchy irqdomain to suppport CPU vector assignment,
interrupt remapping controller, IO-APIC controller, MSI interrupt
and hypertransport interrupt etc on x86 platforms. So extend irqdomain
interfaces to support hierarchy irqdomain.

There are already many clients of current irqdomain interfaces.
To minimize the changes, we choose to introduce new version 2 interfaces
to support hierarchy instead of extending existing irqdomain interfaces.

According to Thomas's suggestion, the most important design decision is
to build hierarchy struct irq_data to support hierarchy irqdomain, so
hierarchy irqdomain related data could be saved in struct irq_data.
With support of hierarchy irq_data, we could also support stacked
irq_chips. This is most useful in case of set_affinity().

The new hierarchy irqdomain introduces following interfaces:
1) irq_domain_alloc_irqs()/irq_domain_free_irqs(): allocate/release IRQ
   and related resources.
2) __irq_domain_alloc_irqs(): a special version to support legacy IRQs.
3) irq_domain_activate_irq()/irq_domain_deactivate_irq(): program
   interrupt controllers to activate/deactivate interrupt.

There are also several help functions to ease irqdomain implemenations:
1) irq_domain_get_irq_data(): get irq_data associated with a specific
   irqdomain.
2) irq_domain_set_hwirq_and_chip(): save irqdomain specific data into
   irq_data.
3) irq_domain_alloc_irqs_parent()/irq_domain_free_irqs_parent(): invoke
   parent irqdomain's alloc/free callbacks.

We also changed irq_startup()/irq_shutdown() to invoke
irq_domain_activate_irq()/irq_domain_deactivate_irq() to program
interrupt controller when start/stop interrupts.

This option will show the mapping relationship between hardware irq
numbers and Linux irq numbers. The mapping is exposed via debugfs
in the file "irq_domain_mapping".
If you don't know what this means you don't need it.

bool "Support sparse irq numbering" if MAY_HAVE_SPARSE_IRQ
---help---
Sparse irq numbering is useful for distro kernels that want
to define a high CONFIG_NR_CPUS value but still want to have
low kernel memory footprint on smaller machines.
( Sparse irqs can also be beneficial on NUMA boxes, as they spread
out the interrupt descriptors in a more NUMA-friendly way. )
If you don't know what to do here, say N.
