[RFC PATCH kernel 0/2] irq: Add reference counting to IRQ mappings

This is an attempt to fix a bug with PCI hot unplug with
a bunch of PCIe bridges and devices sharing INTx.

This did not hit us before as even if we did not
call irq_domain_ops::unmap, the platform (PowerVM) would not
produce an error but with POWER9's XIVE interrupt controller
there is an error if unmap is not called at all (2/2 fixes that)
or an error if we unmapped an interrupt which is still in use
by another device (1/2 fixes that).

One way of fixing that is doing reference counting in
the POWERPC code but since there is a kobj in irq_desc
already, I thought I'll give it a try first.


This is based on sha1
4525c8781ec0 Linus Torvalds "scsi: qla2xxx: remove incorrect sparse #ifdef".

Please comment. Thanks.
