    Pull x86 APIC updates from Thomas Gleixner:
     "This update provides a major overhaul of the APIC initialization and
      vector allocation code:
    
       - Unification of the APIC and interrupt mode setup which was
         scattered all over the place and was hard to follow. This also
         distangles the timer setup from the APIC initialization which
         brings a clear separation of functionality.
    
         Great detective work from Dou Lyiang!
    
       - Refactoring of the x86 vector allocation mechanism. The existing
         code was based on nested loops and rather convoluted APIC callbacks
         which had a horrible worst case behaviour and tried to serve all
         different use cases in one go. This led to quite odd hacks when
         supporting the new managed interupt facility for multiqueue devices
         and made it more or less impossible to deal with the vector space
         exhaustion which was a major roadblock for server hibernation.
    
         Aside of that the code dealing with cpu hotplug and the system
         vectors was disconnected from the actual vector management and
         allocation code, which made it hard to follow and maintain.
    
         Utilizing the new bitmap matrix allocator core mechanism, the new
         allocator and management code consolidates the handling of system
         vectors, legacy vectors, cpu hotplug mechanisms and the actual
         allocation which needs to be aware of system and legacy vectors and
         hotplug constraints into a single consistent entity.
    
         This has one visible change: The support for multi CPU targets of
         interrupts, which is only available on a certain subset of
         CPUs/APIC variants has been removed in favour of single interrupt
         targets. A proper analysis of the multi CPU target feature revealed
         that there is no real advantage as the vast majority of interrupts
         end up on the CPU with the lowest APIC id in the set of target CPUs
         anyway. That change was agreed on by the relevant folks and allowed
         to simplify the implementation significantly and to replace rather
         fragile constructs like the vector cleanup IPI with straight
         forward and solid code.
    
         Furthermore this allowed to cleanly separate the allocation details
         for legacy, normal and managed interrupts:
    
          * Legacy interrupts are not longer wasting 16 vectors
            unconditionally
    
          * Managed interrupts have now a guaranteed vector reservation, but
            the actual vector assignment happens when the interrupt is
            requested. It's guaranteed not to fail.
    
          * Normal interrupts no longer allocate vectors unconditionally
            when the interrupt is set up (IO/APIC init or MSI(X) enable).
            The mechanism has been switched to a best effort reservation
            mode. The actual allocation happens when the interrupt is
            requested. Contrary to managed interrupts the request can fail
            due to vector space exhaustion, but drivers must handle a fail
            of request_irq() anyway. When the interrupt is freed, the vector
            is handed back as well.
    
            This solves a long standing problem with large unconditional
            vector allocations for a certain class of enterprise devices
            which prevented server hibernation due to vector space
            exhaustion when the unused allocated vectors had to be migrated
            to CPU0 while unplugging all non boot CPUs.
    
         The code has been equipped with trace points and detailed debugfs
         information to aid analysis of the vector space"
