This series enhances the irq and PCI code to allow spreading around MSI and MSI-X vectors so that they have per-cpu affinity if possible, or at least per-node. For that it takes the algorithm from blk-mq, moves it to a common place, and makes it available through a vastly simplified PCI interrupt allocation API. It then switches blk-mq to be able to pick up the queue mapping from the device if available, and demonstrates all this using the NVMe driver. Compared to the last posting the core IRQ changes are stable and it would be great to get them merged int the tip tree. The two PCI patches have been completely rewritten after feedback from Alexander, while the block changes have also been stable.
I applied the first 6 patches. They are available in a seperate branch: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git irq/for-block and integrated into the irq/core branch. irq/for-block can be pulled from the block folks if required. Thanks, tglx
