[PATCH kernel v4 0/8] genirq/irqdomain: Add reference counting to IRQs

[Alexey Kardashevskiy]

This is another attempt to add reference counting to IRQ
descriptors; or - more to the point - reuse already existing
kobj from irq_desc. This allows the same IRQ to be used several
times (such as legacy PCI INTx) and when disposing those, only
the last reference drop clears the hardware mappings.
Domains do not add references to irq_desc as the whole point of
this exercise is to move actual cleanup in hardware to
the last reference drop. This only changes sparse interrupts
(no idea about the other case yet).

No changelog as it is all completely rewritten. I am still running
tests but I hope this demonstrates the idea.

Some context from Cedric:
The background context for such a need is that the POWER9 and POWER10
processors have a new XIVE interrupt controller which uses MMIO pages
for interrupt management. Each interrupt has a pair of pages which are
required to be unmapped in some environment, like PHB removal. And so,
all interrupts need to be unmmaped.

1/8 .. 3/8 are removing confusing "realloc" which not strictly required
but I was touching this anyway and legacy interrupts should probably use
the new counting anyway;

4/8 .. 6/8 is reordering irq_desc disposal;

7/8 adds extra references (probably missed other places);

8/8 is the fix for the original XIVE bug; it is here for demonstration.

I am cc'ing ppc list so people can pull the patches from that patchworks.

This is based on sha1
418baf2c28f3 Linus Torvalds "Linux 5.10-rc5".
