Merge branch 'x86-apic-for-linus' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86/apic updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This is a major overhaul to the x86 apic subsystem consisting of the
  following parts:

   - Remove obsolete APIC driver abstractions (David Rientjes)

   - Use the irqdomain facilities to dynamically allocate IRQs for
     IOAPICs.  This is a prerequisite to enable IOAPIC hotplug support,
     and it also frees up wasted vectors (Jiang Liu)

   - Misc fixlets.

  Despite the hickup in Ingos previous pull request - caused by the
  missing fixup for the suspend/resume issue reported by Borislav - I
  strongly recommend that this update finds its way into 3.17.  Some
  history for you:

  This is preparatory work for physical IOAPIC hotplug.  The first
  attempt to support this was done by Yinghai and I shot it down because
  it just added another layer of obscurity and complexity to the already
  existing mess without tackling the underlying shortcomings of the
  current implementation.

  After quite some on- and offlist discussions, I requested that the
  design of this functionality must use generic infrastructure, i.e.
  irq domains, which provide all the mechanisms to dynamically map linux
  interrupt numbers to physical interrupts.

  Jiang picked up the idea and did a great job of consolidating the
  existing interfaces to manage the x86 (IOAPIC) interrupt system by
  utilizing irq domains.

  The testing in tip, Linux-next and inside of Intel on various machines
  did not unearth any oddities until Borislav exposed it to one of his
  oddball machines.  The issue was resolved quickly, but unfortunately
  the fix fell through the cracks and did not hit the tip tree before
  Ingo sent the pull request.  Not entirely Ingos fault, I also assumed
  that the fix was already merged when Ingo asked me whether he could
  send it.

  Nevertheless this work has a proper design, has undergone several
  rounds of review and the final fallout after applying it to tip and
  integrating it into Linux-next has been more than moderate.  It's the
  ground work not only for IOAPIC hotplug, it will also allow us to move
  the lowlevel vector allocation into the irqdomain hierarchy, which
  will benefit other architectures as well.  Patches are posted already,
  but they are on hold for two weeks, see below.

  I really appreciate the competence and responsiveness Jiang has shown
  in course of this endavour.  So I'm sure that any fallout of this will
  be addressed in a timely manner.

  FYI, I'm vanishing for 2 weeks into my annual kids summer camp kitchen
  duty^Wvacation, while you folks are drooling at KS/LinuxCon :) But HPA
  will have a look at the hopefully zero fallout until I'm back"
