From: Ingo Molnar This is a fixed up and cleaned up replacement for genirq-msi-fixes.patch, which should solve the i386 4KSTACKS problem. I also added Ben's idea of pushing the __do_IRQ() check into generic_handle_irq(). I booted this with MSI enabled, but i only have MSI devices, not MSI-X devices. I'd still expect MSI-X to work now. irqchip migration helper: call __do_IRQ() if a descriptor is attached to an irqtype-style controller. This also fixes MSI-X IRQ handling on i386 and x86_64.
