Linus Torvalds 3381d7b2b3 Updates for the [PCI] MSI subsystem:
- Add interrupt redirection infrastructure
 
     Some PCI controllers use a single demultiplexing interrupt for the MSI
     interrupts of subordinate devices.
 
     This prevents setting the interrupt affinity of device interrupts, which
     causes device interrupts to be delivered to a single CPU. That obviously is
     counterproductive for multi-queue devices and interrupt balancing.
 
     To work around this limitation the new infrastructure installs a dummy
     irq_set_affinity() callback which captures the affinity mask and picks a
     redirection target CPU out of the mask.
 
     When the PCI controller demultiplexes the interrupts it invokes a new
     handling function in the core, which either runs the interrupt handler in
     the context of the target CPU or delegates it to irq_work on the target CPU.
 
   - Utilize the interrupt redirection mechanism in the PCI DWC host controller
     driver.
 
     This allows affinity control for the subordinate device MSI interrupts
     instead of being randomly executed on the CPU which runs the demultiplex
     handler.
 
   - Replace the binary 64-bit MSI flag with a DMA mask
 
     Some PCI devices have PCI_MSI_FLAGS_64BIT in the MSI capability, but
     implement less than 64 address bits. This breaks on platforms where such a
     device is assigned an MSI address higher than what's supported.
 
     With the binary 64-bit flag there is no other choice than disabling 64-bit
     MSI support which leaves the device disfunctional.
 
     By using a DMA mask the address limit of a device can be described
     correctly which provides support for the above scenario.
 
   - Make use of the DMA mask based address limit in the hda/intel and radeon
     drivers to enable them on affected platforms.
