x86, pci: introduce config option for pci reroute quirks (was: [PATCH 0/3] Boot IRQ quirks for Broadcom and AMD/ATI)

Browse Source 
This is against linux-2.6-tip, branch pci-ioapic-boot-irq-quirks.

From: Stefan Assmann <sassmann@suse.de>
Subject: Introduce config option for pci reroute quirks

The config option X86_REROUTE_FOR_BROKEN_BOOT_IRQS is introduced to
enable (or disable) the redirection of the interrupt handler to the boot
interrupt line by default. Depending on the existence of interrupt
masking / threaded interrupt handling in the kernel (vanilla, rt, ...)
and the maturity of the rerouting patch, users can enable or disable the
redirection by default.

This means that the reroute quirk can be applied to any kernel without
changing it.

Interrupt sharing could be increased if this option is enabled. However this
option is vital for threaded interrupt handling, as done by the RT kernel.
It should simplify the consolidation with the RT kernel.

The option can be overridden by either pci=ioapicreroute or
pci=noioapicreroute.

help
This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
down (vital) interrupt lines.
Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be
increased on these systems.
