IRQ0 is edge-triggered, but the "8259A Virtual Wire" through the local
APIC configuration in the 32-bit version uses the "fasteoi" handler
suitable for level-triggered APIC interrupt. Rewrite code so that the
"edge" handler is used. The 64-bit version uses different code and is
unaffected.

The problems are that, with the ACPI vs timer overring issue _fixed_,
after using the box for some time (between several seconds and 1 hour, at
random) processes get very high CPU loads (once I've got X using 107% of
the CPU, for example) and the system becomes unresponsive, as though there
were interrupts lost or something similar.

So lets fall back to the IRQ0/INT0 configuration on this box.
This basically restores the dont-use-the-lapic-timer exception mechanism

We create a version of it for i386, and then take the CONFIG_X86_64
ifdef out of the game. We could create a __setup_vector_irq for i386,
but it would incur in an unnecessary lock taking. Moreover, it is better
practice to only export setup_vector_irq anyway.

Some systems incorrectly report the ExtINTA pin of the I/O APIC as the
genuine target of the timer interrupt. Here is a change that copies timer
pin information found to the other pin if one has been found only. This
way both a direct and a through-8259A route is tested with the pin letting
these problematic systems work well enough. If no timer pin information
has been found for the I/O APIC, then local APIC variations are tried
only, similarly to what is done without the change (except without the
misleading messages).
Obviously if we try the first-chance path without being told by the BIOS
to do so, we should not complain either, so do not print the message in
this case.
The 64-bit variation should be updated with a call to
replace_pin_at_irq() which can be done with the upcoming merge. Since
add_pin_to_irq() is now always called in the first-chance path, the
condition to require it in the second-chance path no longer happens.

settings are meant: edge-triggered, active-high, all the other settings
per-architecture. Adjust comments to reflect code appropriately. No

When the through-8259A mode is used for the timer, the call to
set_irq_handler() will register a NULL handler name, resulting in
"IO-APIC-<NULL>" reported. Fix by calling ioapic_register_intr() as done
for all the other I/O APIC interrupts.
The 64-bit variation calls set_irq_chip_and_handler_name() here
needlessly and should get fixed with the upcoming merge.

The local APIC interrupt handler gets registered with
set_irq_chip_and_handler_name(), which results in
"local-APIC-edge-fasteoi" reported as the name of the handler. Fix by
removing the type of the handler left over from before the generic
handlers were introduced.
The 64-bit variation should get fixed with the upcoming merge.
NB It should really use the "edge" handler and not the "fasteoi" one,
but that's a separate issue.

The code that used to be in do_slow_gettimeoffset() that relied on the
IRR bit of the master 8259A PIC for IRQ0 to check the state of the output
timer 0 of the PIT is no longer there. As a result, there is no need to
use the POLL command to acknowledge the timer interrupt in the "8259A
Virtual Wire", except for the NMI watchdog when the i82489DX APIC is used
(this is because this particular APIC treats NMIs as level-triggered and
keeping the input asserted would keep motherboard NMI sources held off for
too long). Remove the unneeded bits and adjust comments accordingly.

This bug was introduced in the 2.6.24 i386/x86_64 tree merge, where
MSI-X vector allocation will eventually fail. The cause is the new
bit array tracking used vectors is not getting cleared properly on
IRQ destruction on the 32-bit APIC code.
This can be seen easily using the ixgbe 10 GbE driver on multi-core
systems by simply loading and unloading the driver a few times.
Depending on the number of available vectors on the host system, the
MSI-X allocation will eventually fail, and the driver will only be
able to use legacy interrupts.
I am generating the same patch for both stable trees for 2.6.24 and
2.6.25.
