  • Thread-topic: [PATCH v10 2/6] arm/irq: Migrate IRQs during CPU up/down operations

Move IRQs from dying CPU to the online ones when a CPU is getting
offlined. When onlining, rebalance all IRQs in a round-robin fashion.
Guest-bound IRQs are already handled by scheduler in the process of
moving vCPUs to active pCPUs, so we only need to handle IRQs used by Xen
itself.

---
v9->v10:
* make cpu_next static to balance_irq
* move the offline path to the CPU_DEAD notifier
* make rebalance_irqs static

v8->v9:
* replace CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG with CONFIG_CPU_ONLINE_OFFLINE

v7->v8:
* check only existings ESPIs

v6->v7:
* replace ifdef with IS_ENABLED

v5->v6:
* don't do any balancing on boot
* only do balancing when cpu hotplug is enabled

v4->v5:
* handle CPU onlining as well
* more comments
* fix crash when ESPI is disabled
* don't assume CPU 0 is a boot CPU
* use insigned int for irq number
* remove assumption that all irqs a bound to CPU 0 by default from the
  commit message

v3->v4:
* patch introduced
