66bcaf0bde x86: Move irq_init to x86_init_ops
irq_init is overridden by x86_quirks and by paravirts. Unify the whole
mess and make it an unconditional x86_init_ops function which defaults
to the standard function and can be overridden by the early platform
code.

792dc4f6cd xen: use our own eventchannel->irq path
Rather than overloading vectors for event channels, take full
responsibility for mapping an event channel to irq directly.  With
this patch Xen has its own irq allocator.

When the kernel gets an event channel upcall, it maps the event
channel number to an irq and injects it into the normal interrupt
path.

ecb93d1ccd x86/paravirt: add register-saving thunks to reduce caller register pressure
Impact: Optimization

One of the problems with inserting a pile of C calls where previously
there were none is that the register pressure is greatly increased.
The C calling convention says that the caller must expect a certain
set of registers may be trashed by the callee, and that the callee can
use those registers without restriction.  This includes the function
argument registers, and several others.

This patch seeks to alleviate this pressure by introducing wrapper
thunks that will do the register saving/restoring, so that the
callsite doesn't need to worry about it, but the callee function can
be conventional compiler-generated code.  In many cases (particularly
performance-sensitive cases) the callee will be in assembler anyway,
and need not use the compiler's calling convention.

Standard calling convention is:
	 arguments	    return	scratch
x86-32	 eax edx ecx	    eax		?
x86-64	 rdi rsi rdx rcx    rax		r8 r9 r10 r11

The thunk preserves all argument and scratch registers.  The return
register is not preserved, and is available as a scratch register for
unwrapped callee code (and of course the return value).

Wrapped function pointers are themselves wrapped in a struct
paravirt_callee_save structure, in order to get some warning from the
compiler when functions with mismatched calling conventions are used.

The most common paravirt ops, both statically and dynamically, are
interrupt enable/disable/save/restore, so handle them first.  This is
particularly easy since their calls are handled specially anyway.

XXX Deal with VMI.  What's their calling convention?

6dbde35308 percpu: add optimized generic percpu accessors
It is an optimization and a cleanup, and adds the following new
generic percpu methods:

  percpu_read()
  percpu_write()
  percpu_add()
  percpu_sub()
  percpu_and()
  percpu_or()
  percpu_xor()

and implements support for them on x86. (other architectures will fall
back to a default implementation)

The advantage is that for example to read a local percpu variable,
instead of this sequence:

 return __get_cpu_var(var);

 ffffffff8102ca2b:	48 8b 14 fd 80 09 74 	mov    -0x7e8bf680(,%rdi,8),%rdx
 ffffffff8102ca32:	81
 ffffffff8102ca33:	48 c7 c0 d8 59 00 00 	mov    $0x59d8,%rax
 ffffffff8102ca3a:	48 8b 04 10          	mov    (%rax,%rdx,1),%rax

We can get a single instruction by using the optimized variants:

 return percpu_read(var);

 ffffffff8102ca3f:	65 48 8b 05 91 8f fd 	mov    %gs:0x7efd8f91(%rip),%rax

I also cleaned up the x86-specific APIs and made the x86 code use
these new generic percpu primitives.

tj: * fixed generic percpu_sub() definition as Roel Kluin pointed out
    * added percpu_and() for completeness's sake
    * made generic percpu ops atomic against preemption

bf9d3cf73e xen: Fix bug `do_IRQ: cannot handle IRQ -1 vector 0x6 cpu 1'
Following commit 9c3f2468d8339866d9ef6a25aae31a8909c6be0d, do_IRQ()
looks up the IRQ number in the per-cpu variable vector_irq.

This commit makes Xen initialise an identity vector_irq map for both X86_32 and X86_64.

0d1edf46ba xen: compile irq functions without -pg for ftrace
For some reason I managed to miss a bunch of irq-related functions
which also need to be compiled without -pg when using ftrace.  This
patch moves them into their own file, and starts a cleanup process
I've been meaning to do anyway.
