Thread-topic: [PATCH] irq: Exclude percpu IRQs from being fixed up
irq: Exclude percpu IRQs from being fixed up

Xen spin unlock uses spurious ipi "lock_kicker_irq" to wake up blocked vCPUs 
waiting on that lock. This irq should always be disabled. However, when Dom0 is 
shuting down, function fixup_irqs is called which unmasks all irqs. Function 
unmask_irq effectively re-enables lock_kicker_irq and its irq handler is 
invoked which reports bug and crashes Dom0.

This patch sets IRQ_PER_CPU flag in irq desc and excludes percpu IRQs from 
being fixed up when taking CPUs down.
