This option will show the mapping relationship between hardware irq
numbers and Linux irq numbers. The mapping is exposed via debugfs
in the file "irq_domain_mapping".
If you don't know what this means you don't need it.
# Support forced irq threading
genirq: Provide forced interrupt threading Add a commandline parameter "threadirqs" which forces all interrupts except those marked IRQF_NO_THREAD to run threaded. That's mostly a debug option to allow retrieving better debug data from crashing interrupt handlers. If "threadirqs" is not enabled on the kernel command line, then there is no impact in the interrupt hotpath. Architecture code needs to select CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING after marking the interrupts which cant be threaded IRQF_NO_THREAD. All interrupts which have IRQF_TIMER set are implict marked IRQF_NO_THREAD. Also all PER_CPU interrupts are excluded. Forced threading hard interrupts also forces all soft interrupt handling into thread context. When enabled it might slow down things a bit, but for debugging problems in interrupt code it's a reasonable penalty as it does not immediately crash and burn the machine when an interrupt handler is buggy.

bool "Support sparse irq numbering" if MAY_HAVE_SPARSE_IRQ
---help---
Sparse irq numbering is useful for distro kernels that want
to define a high CONFIG_NR_CPUS value but still want to have
low kernel memory footprint on smaller machines.
( Sparse irqs can also be beneficial on NUMA boxes, as they spread
out the interrupt descriptors in a more NUMA-friendly way. )
If you don't know what to do here, say N.
